Report: Radical Islam Still Driving Global Christian Persecution
Islamic extremism is a primary driver of Christian persecution in eight out of the ten most dangerous places for Christians to live, Open Doors revealed Wednesday in its World Watch List 2020.
In Somalia, for instance, number three on the list of the 50 countries where Christians face the most serious persecution, the violent Islamist group, al-Shabaab “has repeatedly expressed its desire to eradicate Christians from the country,” Open Doors noted.
Some 99 percent of Somali citizens are Muslims, and being exposed as a convert to Christianity results in life-threatening peril.
