| Religious persecution is widespread, report warns |
| 2010-04-30 |
| The numbers are shocking: 12,000 people killed in a cycle of violence between Christians and Muslims stretching back more than a decade. The location: Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, lying on the continent's fault line between the largely Muslim north and predominantly Christian south. The number of people convicted and sentenced for the killings: Zero. That's just one of many stark assessments about the level of religious persecution around the world today in a huge new report from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. The report names more than two dozen countries as offenders. Some engage in what's classically thought of as religious persecution. |
