Need Your Head": Muslim Persecution of Christians, July 2014

"The
United States did not come out to say anything about Boko Haram. They
kept talking about economic problem. That is not true... The United
States deliberately ignored the fundamental issues of religious
ideology." — Nicholas Okoh, Primate, Church of Nigeria
A
judge in Iran sentenced a Christian man to have his lips burnt with a
cigarette for eating during the day in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
A
church member added that members of the Muslim group had said they wanted

The purge of ancient Christian communities throughout Iraq that
started in June culminated in great intolerance in July.
Among other Islamic attacks, a Christian church that had stood Iraq
for 1,800 years -- a church that was erected less than 200 years after

Under Hamas's rule, terrorist groups in Gaza are currently trying to
acquire a foothold in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, and Hamas is trying daily
to resurface in West Bank.
Recent events in Sinai have placed Hamas on a collision course with
Egypt, and threaten further instability in the region.

organizations that use Gaza -- under Hamas rule, a nest of weapons and
terrorism -- as a base of operations.
These jihadi groups often attack the Egyptian state in the Sinai
Peninsula, then, with their weapons, move back into Gaza through
underground tunnels to escape Egyptian security forces.
Hence, Egypt continues to block underground smuggling passages
linking Gaza and Sinai as quickly as it can find them.
