GEOGRAPHY OF THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES
Journal Title: Studia z Prawa Wyznaniowego - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 17
Abstract
Christians are persecuted around the world including Europe and not only in Islamic countries but also in India, China, Korea or Colombia. Restriction of the topic to the Islamic Nations is dictated by the fact that in these countries it is the most dramatic and bloody. The studies covered the beginning of the 21st century. After analyzing the sources, you can obtain a view of the scale and the geographical scope of these persecutions. Most harassment take place where islam has its roots or sphere of influence. From 2011 there is a worsening of the persecution in the countries of South-West Asia and African countries: Afghanistan, the Maldives, Somalia and Saudi Arabia, in the Central African Republic, South Africa, Syria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iraq, and Somalia. Similar upward trends of persecution take place in other African countries like Chad and Sudan. Iraq and Syria come jihadis from the countries of Southeast Asia as Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia. Also, many followers of Islam with European countries like France, Germany or United Kingdom wishes to accede to the Muslim armed groups. The geographical scope of the persecution of Christians by Islamic terrorism is constantly widening and powerful world States retain almost total silence about these acts of trampling on human rights. Does anyone in the world would react? Or remain only prayer and tears? And it may well have made the visibility of the issue?
