London, England, Jun 19, 2007 / 11:49 am (CNA).- The British Secret Service, MI6, has published an alarming report in the magazine Sunday Express revealing that some 200 million Christians in 60 countries around the world are at risk of suffering persecution.

The report reveals that in the Sudan, for example, “thousands of Christians have been massacred and the fundamentalist government has done little to protect them.”  In Iraq, “the situation is grave: Christians do not have their own militia to defend them, and Sunni and Shiite factions accuse them of collaborating with the American ‘crusaders’ and among the hundreds of victims of kidnappings this year there are a growing number of Christians.”

The study also reveals that during the last year, at least seventy Christians were killed in Pakistan.  In Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, Christians who belong to the Russian Orthodox Church are often looked down upon: in these three republics of the former Soviet Union, Muslim preachers, ‘under the influence of Al Qaeda,’ present Christians as followers of a religion closely associated with the despised Western colonialism and they call for their expulsion,” the report states.

North Korea, China, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Uganda are other countries where Christians are persecuted.  North Korea has sent some 50 thousand Christians to concentration camps, while in China some 40 thousand have suffered the same fate.  The report also notes the increasing difficulties facing Palestinian Christians due to the progressive radicalization of the Islamic masses in the Middle East.

It is not only this..the christians are the subject of a silent persecution all the time.the persecution done by the people who share the atheistic views..or claim to be atheists

the pope ahould speak more often about satan, and what satan does..because the students don't believe that he really exists, despite the fact that religion is studied again in some schools of some countries..
a student told to another aomething about satan and the other told her to go top a psychiatrist because she is crazy..''she has birds at brain''...so those who believe that satan exists and influences our life are considered crazy, or mad..

also those who invoke God in ther families are considered by their spouses as being fanatics..and having ''ill brain from church'', or being ''brainwashed by the church''
.If the Pope is a real Shepard , he should protect the Christians..and their dignity, keeping all the time speaches and revealing the hidden enemy of God, and of the people, which is satan..
Otherwise it would result that the Pope HIMSELF is serving two masters..
