https://hillarydaily.com/brandon/2017/04/11/man-wearing-cross-gets-beaten-by-muslim-gang/Glory be to Jesus Christ!! It is with sadness that I link this story during this Holy Week. I have no answer to what this means or how we should react. I do believe that the man's priest is wrong when he counsels that we should "hide" the cross so that it does not provoke Muslims. In a free society, we should not have to do so. It seems to me that this would be akin to denying the Lord in this life and wondering why He denies us before the Father later. Bob

I agree with you! I DO believe it would be equivalent to denying our Lord. I DO hope he does NOT stop wearing his crucifix AND that he looks at it as a great grace to be chosen to bear this suffering.

This is a wake up call for western christians especially to realize their eastern brothers and sisters are suffering so greatly.

Christ is Risen!!
Recently read an article by a Muslim professor at Al-Azar University in Egypt. He made the remark that having a church in a neighborhood was equivalent to having a "brothel" in the neighborhood. He also stated that allowing a church to be repaired once it is damaged was equivalent to repairing a brothel and that it would be better to have a brothel repaired than a church. So our brethren are in more danger than we in the West even imagine.
There's also an interesting fact of life for those who live in majority Muslim lands. The rules for "dhimmis" state that protected people lose their protected status and may be killed at will by any Muslim if, at any time, they are perceived to be receiving support from outside the Muslim territory or appeal to those outside the Muslim territory in which they live. It dawned on me that this is the reason for the wholesale persecution in Syria and Iraq--the indigenous Christians are being labeled as being no longer protected since the invasions of the last couple decades, especially with our people being there fighting. It's okay for Muslims to fight Muslims but not okay for infidels to get in on either side.
Take a look at a site entitled "dhimmitude.org" for more info from a woman who has documented this over many decades. Also check out Father Zaccaria Boutros's website on the same topics.
