New Killing Ground of Christians

Recently, Christians have it tough in Gaza. Bombing the YMCA library. And other unsavory events.

And in Egypt. (And here, too.)

And let's not skip the "disputed territories" of Judea and Samaria wherein reside the Arabs-who-call-themselves-"Palestinians" (=Pals.) where the situation is not good.

Now, India is a new killing ground for Christians:-

Those who came to attack Christians here early last week set their trap well, residents say.

First, they built makeshift barricades of trees and small boulders along the roads leading into this village, apparently to stop the police from intervening.

Then, villagers say, the attackers went on a rampage. Chanting “Kill these pigs” and “All Hindus are brothers,” the mob began breaking into homes that displayed posters of Jesus, stealing valuables and eventually burning the buildings. When they found residents who had not fled to the nearby jungle, they beat them with sticks or maimed them with axes and left them to die.

A local official said three people died as a result of the attack on Aug. 25. The carefully placed roadblocks accomplished their purpose; residents say a full day passed before help arrived.

One villager, Asha Lata Nayak, said, “I saw the mob carrying sticks, axes, swords, knives and small guns. They first demolished the village church and later Christian houses. Nobody came forward to help us.”


Religious violence. First the Jews, now the Christians.
