Are All These Christians' Complaints of Religious Discrimination Just So Much Em

[phkrause]

Should we just shrug off the alarming daily reports of persecution of people who follow Jesus? After all, He warned His followers that they would be hated, right?

The article did not persuade me one way or the other as it lacked quite a bit of documentation. In General I would suspect that 'complaints' are correct in some parts of the world. However, in this country, as normal, the statement 'religious persecution' has become a buzz word for certain groups as a way of trying to automatically get sympathy for their particular brand of truth or belief. There are a lot of outlandish statements made by those who primary focus is political in content. Sitting the name of Christ has been become very popular, for all the wrong reasons!!!

I'm inclined to agree.
