“The inconvenient truth that the overwhelming majority (80%) of persecuted religious believers are Christians”

Things are so bad that even the Guardian is worried about the worldwide persecution of Christians. An article quotes a report by the Bishop of Truro that discloses

“The inconvenient truth that the overwhelming majority (80%) of persecuted religious believers are Christians.”

The report was commissioned by the Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, who is a Christian. He said: 

“I think it is partly because of political correctness we have avoided confronting this issue. I think there is a misplaced worry that it is colonialist to talk about a religion that was associated with colonial powers.”

The report avoids the inconvenient truth that, although the Chinese Communists and others are persecuting Christians, mostly it is Muslims who are doing so. That is a truth too far at this point for the Guardian, the British government or, somewhat shockingly, the bishops.

But great is the truth and shall conquer. One knew things really were bad in Sweden, by the way, when the BBC put on its website an article about the numbers of crimes committed by refugees. This was shortly after they broadcast a radio programme asking why the hard right kept talking about Sweden and failing to come up with any answer.
