Persecution

Marxism

In communist countries like Cuba, China, Vietnam, Laos,
and North Korea, Christians are targeted because they vest their faith
in the Lord and not the Marxist regimes.

Islam

Fundamentalist Islam is very intolerant toward other
faiths, and in radical Muslim countries such as Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi
Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Indonesia, Christians suffer greatly. This
ranges from job discrimination to the abduction, rape, and forced
conversion of Christian women. Persecution is most violent in these
countries and often includes the imprisonment and murder of Christians.

Cultural

Christian persecution also occurs as a result of social
and cultural discrimination. Human beings in general are afraid and
intolerant of that which is different. In places like India, Christians
are discriminated against, denied employment, physically attacked, and
sometimes even murdered.
