4/28/11:  Since late last year, Christians in Iraq have been fleeing the country for refuge in the Kurdish-controlled region of the north, which has become "a slow but steady exodus" (BBC News).  Sixty-eight people died when security forces stormed the Catholic church in Baghdad to free dozens of hostages held by militants in December 2010.  Other bombings and attacks have occurred throughout Iraq, causing a mass exodus of Christians.  In February 2011, hundreds of protesters burned churches and attacked a courthouse in Indonesia, after a Christian convicted of blasphemy received what was considered to be a lenient sentence.  The rioting was only the latest of a string of incidents that is raising fears about the influence of radical Islamic groups.  Just two days prior to this incident, one Muslim group killed three members of another Muslim group in Indonesia.  There were 286 attacks against Christians in Indonesia last year.  

 My Comments:  Little overall is being done to quell attacks against non-Muslims throughout the world.  Teuku Faiza, a spokesman for the President of Indonesia said "differing views and protests are a part of democracy; it is not just the responsibility of the government, it is also the job of the religious leaders to promote peace and harmony."  Talk about passing the buck!  That sounds as bad as Barack Obama sending 700 million of our tax dollars to the Middle East to repair mosques after the 9/11 attacks here.  Muslims are still very much a minority in the world overall, so I don't believe it is a matter our of having Muslim government officials throughout the globe, but I believe that by, in a sense, protecting or even promoting these radicals, by way of passing "hate crimes" laws, which are really pro-Muslim, governments can use them as a means to meet their own agenda, a One World Government.  Think about it, every time laws are passed to "protect our security" and "protect the rights of Muslims," more and more of our personal freedoms are being eliminated.  It is going to come right down to a dictatorship very quickly, according to the Word of God.  Revelation 13:7 "Power was given to him over every tribe, people, tongue and nation."
