"I do advocate that all countries should have such equipment. Given not sold. Why is it OK for us but not developing countries?" So you claim that it is ok to sell riot equipment to Assad - remembering that your comments came at the time he was massacring the citizens of Homs. That'll d nicely thank you very much - pretty much a complete picture of your humanity Why is it wrong to supply riot control equipment to regimes like the Syrian one? "Your suggestion that it is ok to sell Assad riot control equipment has just been put into context by the announcement that 11,000 detainees in his torture chambers and jails have been murdered or disappeared." Your moronic repetition of evidence of your drawing on extremist sites for your claims? How's this for size, Blue Eyes Jim Carroll
This is a list of targeted acts of terrorism on Christian civilians and church workers by religious Muslims since September 11th, 2001. These attacks have nothing to do with war, combat or insurgency. The victims are innocent Christians who were specifically targeted and abused solely on account of their faith by those who claim their own religion as a motive.
There may be a few anomalies on the list, as it is compiled by keyword search from our main database. Neither is this a complete account of Islamic terror attacks on Christians since much of the violence goes unreported.
