I will not post any more reports to show that the subject of this thread is a real issue and that caring about it does not make me a bigot, racist etc.

"WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2014 /Standard Newswire/ -- The largely underreported assaults on the religious freedoms of Christians around the globe were the topic of a congressional hearing Tuesday chaired by U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04), Chairman of the House congressional panel that oversees global human rights issues.

"This subcommittee has and will continue to highlight the suffering of religious minorities around the globe, be they Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan, Ba'hai in Iran, Buddhists in occupied Tibet, Yazidis in Iraq or the Muslim Royhinga people in Burma," Smith said. "Christians, however, remain the most persecuted religious group the world over, and thus deserve the special attention that today's hearing will give them. As one of today's witnesses, the distinguished journalist John Allen has written: 'Christians today indisputably are the most persecuted religious body on the planet, and too often their martyrs suffer in silence.'"
