Subject: RE: BS: Christian Persecution
I doubt I did miss any point.

Condemning violence is commendable and expected. After all, Church leaders impress lots of people, but the inference that it is holy death is just plain sick. It is a being in the wrong place at the wrong time death. The religion of the murderer is the factor, not the religion of the victim.

There is a huge difference between persecuting someone for what they are and persecuting them for what they aren't.

Those people died for not being Muslims. The Anglican church persecuted gays for being gay. An assertive versus passive argument.

When the shopping mall murders took place, people were asked if they were Muslim and tested in their knowledge. Welby piped up that some of the dead were killed for being Christian when even he had to later admit that they were killed for not being Muslim. A huge difference..
