UK report urges global action against Christian persecution

[IsraelTimes] Britannia’s foreign secretary embraces a new report that concludes Christians frequently endure the heaviest burden of persecution globally, arguing that it should be labeled as "Christophobia."

Jeremy Hunt backs the report by Right Rev. Philip Mounstephen, the bishop of Truro. Hunt says that governments have preferred general language of condemnation rather than calling out persecution against Christians for what it is and giving it a name.

Hunt says today the government has not always grappled with the issue "perhaps because of a misguided political correctness or an instinctive reluctance to talk about religion."

The report recommends that Britannia push for a UN Security Council resolution urging governments in the Middle East and North Africa to protect Christians and other persecuted minorities.

“There, Nigel — that’ll take care of the problem. I’m up for tea, if you’d care to join me for a cuppa. Or maybe something stronger?”

"Up me cassock? Oh, please. I can't even!"

Apologies for gratuitous nastiness towards a fine fellow... but do we really need another bogus "phobia?" Christianity and the global West have no business trailing along behind Pride parade and sharia patrol, squeaking, "Me too! Me too!"

#3 It isn't "phobia"=fear of Christians, it is hatred of them. I'm told there were more martyrs in the 20th century than the previous 19. Part of that is no doubt due to the greater population, but China and the USSR and Spain and Mexico and ...
