Christian in a Muslim Nation

I here a lot of talk of about how hard Muslims have it here in the United States because of distrust caused by attacks such as 9-11 by Muslim terrorists. But, I find it hard to find anything in the mainstream media that discusses what it is like to be a Christian in a Muslim nation.
With a little research, it doesn't take one long to learn that a Christian in a Muslim nation has it much worse than any Muslim in the U.S.

 

According to christiantoday.com, Christians that live in Muslim nations ruled by Sharia Law live in constant fear. The biggest fear comes from intimidation against Christians through the use of blasphemy laws. Any disrespect toward the Muslim faith or the Prophet Mohammed will quickly find a Christian serving hard labor in prison or awaiting execution. Even worse, all it takes is an allocation against someone, no hard proof is needed to charge one with the crime of blasphemy!

 

Section 295-C of the Pakistan blasphemy laws says,
"Whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to a fine."
Makes one wonder why the Muslim faith is so popularly called, "The Religion of Peace?"

 

The next time someone makes note of how difficult Muslim citizens have it here in the U.S., remember our brothers and sisters in Christ that live in Muslim nations. When the two are compared, the Christian in a Muslim nation is the one that needs the most sympathy. After all, they are the ones that are dying every day for their faith!
