There is no coherent conspiracy by the government or religious structure to persecute Christians; they just don't care and won't do anything about it when persecution does occur. They generally turn a blind eye.[/quote]
Pretty much like the Indian Government and the entire world turned a blind eye to the Persecutions in Orissa but nowhere near such an extreme case.

It seems the situation in Orissa is far more extreme, then anything happening to Christians in Egypt. The fact that I have seen absolutely zero (and I unfortunately watch a lot of news) on Orissa in mainstream news only confirms my suspicions of the secular media.

I knew they didn't care much for persecuted people the East or middle east, just look at The little attention shown to Burma, and the Chinese campaign in Tibet just prior to the Olympics recently.

Then of course this pales in comparison to the mainstream media's blatant ignorence of Orissa, I mean come on! It was plastered all of the net! How could you miss it!?

The sentence was conditional for a reason with all due respect.

Pray this occurs; this would be a major accomplishment in a country that still officailly claims with a straight face 100% of its citizens are Muslim.

I thought the final word on that was they wouldn't be making a church?

What makes you say that?

because of Islam itself, any efforts to help or allow evangelisation of another religion in a Muslim country is veiwed as sinful on behalf of the king.

And before you ask, no this is not just the radicals that believe this.
