Gang rage puts bull's-eye on Christians
Thousands flee violence from guerrilla group
Christians in the central African nation of Congo are becoming the targets of the M23 guerrilla group, the revolutionary band trying to overthrow Congolese leader Joseph Kabila, according to a report from Britain-based Christian group Barnabas Aid.
“Villages plundered, boys forcibly recruited, women raped; their villages too unsafe for them to stay. Thousands of Christians in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo are in urgent need of food and shelter after escaping the violence of a new rebel group, called M23,” the Barnabas Aid report said.
The Joshua Project reports that over 90 percent of the People’s Democratic Republic of the Congo is Christian. WND reported in January that based on a Pew Research Center study, the Congo is in the world’s top 10 nations in the number of Christians. Almost half (48 percent) of all Christians live in the 10 countries with the largest number of Christians. Three are in sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria, Congo and Ethiopia), reflecting Christianity’s global reach.
Heritage Foundation Africa analyst Morgan Roach says the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s previous colonial status has influenced the religious demographics.
“Being a former Belgian colony, there’s a large Roman Catholic population,” Roach said.
Barnabas Aid U. S. Director Julian Dobbs says the reports coming from the Congo indicate M23 is zeroing in on Christians, without distinction.
“I don’t think M23 is discriminating between Catholic or evangelical Christians. It’s an ongoing struggle because they’re specifically targeting Christians,” Dobbs said

Syrian rebels behead Christian man

As Western-backed Syrian rebels celebrated victories in cities across the north of the country, they also reportedly took revenge on minorities who had failed to fully side with them against embattled dictator Bashar Assad.
Agnes-Mariam de la Croix, a Syrian nun, told foreign media that in one instance a taxi driver was pulled from his vehicle by rebel fighters and beheaded, his body thrown as food to stray dogs.
The man's crime? His brother had been overhead complaining about the behavior of the rebel forces. Sister Agnes-Mariam says it was that, combined with the fact that the victim, Andrei Arbashe, was a Christian that made him a target for the rebels.
Sister Agnes-Mariam fled Syria over the summer after being warned that the rebels intended to abduct her. Since then, she has been speaking out over the atrocities committed by Syrian rebels, atrocities that are being all but ignored by the mainstream media and the Western governments supporting the Free Syria Army and its satellite groups.
"The uprising has been hijacked by Islamist mercenaries who are more interested in fighting a holy war than in changing the government," she recently told The Sunday Times, adding, "Christians are paying a high price."

Egypt Family Gets 15 Years For Christian Conversion
Published January 16, 2013
The 15-year prison sentence given to a woman and her seven children by an Egyptian court for converting to Christianity is a sign of things to come, according to alarmed human rights advocates who say the nation's Islamist government is bad news for Christians in the North African country.
A criminal court in the central Egyptian city of Beni Suef meted out the shocking sentence last week, according to the Arabic-language Egyptian paper Al-Masry Al-Youm. Nadia Mohamed Ali, who was raised a Christian, converted to Islam when she married Mohamed Abdel-Wahhab Mustafa, a Muslim, 23 years ago. He later died, and his widow planned to convert her family back to Christianity in order to obtain an inheritance from her family. She sought the help of others in the registration office to process new identity cards between 2004 and 2006. When the conversion came to light under the new regime, Nadia, her children and even the clerks who processed the identity cards were all sentenced to prison.

'HORRIFIC PRESSURES': Pastor: Iranian Captors Want Me 'to Deny Christ'
http://a57.foxnews.com/www.foxnews.c...222_193541.jpgAmerican pastor Saeed Abedini, jailed in a notoriously brutal Iranian prison for his Christian faith, is facing physical and psychological torture at the hands of captors demanding he renounce his beliefs, according to supporters.
The 32-year-old married father of two, who left his home in Boise, Idaho, to help start an orphanage in his latest country, detailed “horrific pressures” and “death threats,” is a letter to family members, according to his U.S.-based attorneys."They are only waiting for one thing…for me to deny Christ. But they will never get this from me.”

“My eyes get blurry, my body does not have the strength to walk, and my steps become very weak and shaky,” read the letter, sneaked out of Evin prison in Tehran.
