Religious freedom 2

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

China is persecuting Muslims in more ways than forcing some into "re-education camp" prisons. Domes and minarets have been torn down. Mosques have been padlocked or destroyed. Arabic signage has been banned. Imams are threatened.

China is also persecuting Christians. Children are banned from going to church. Thousands of crosses have been torn down. Government cameras keep watch in sanctuaries. And, churches have been destroyed.



Just this past weekend, a 3000-seat Christian church was destroyed in Funan (though it was government-approved) . . during a worship service.

The Communist Party of China and its "president-for-life," Xi Jinping, attack religious thought and practice to force unchallenged loyalty to the communist government. 

This is the opposite of "religious freedom."
