Thread Name: BS: Christian Persecution
Subject: RE: BS: Christian Persecution
The assumption that Christian communities in third world countries are relics of colonialism is not one that should automatically be accepted. In Middle Eastern countries such as Syria, Iraq, Egypt or Turkey, Christianity was the predominant religion long before the arrival of Islam.

Particularly in the light of the horrifying massacre in Peshawar, Greg's comment that such things serve Christians right is pretty disgusting. I am suppose there are people who would say precisely the same thing if an equivalent atrocity were to take place in a mosque, or a synagogue. I wonder if he would be one of them?
