Fox News: Christians killed for faith nearly doubled in 2013, group finds

Rev. Faye Pama Musa knew immediately why suspected Boko Haram militants burst into his home last year as his wife prepared dinner in the family’s northeastern Nigeria home. His stance against Christian persecution in the divided African nation had long made him a target.

Musa, who served as the general overseer of the Rhema Assembly International Church and secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Borno, saw the intruders near the front door of his home in Maiduguri as his wife, Mercy, prepped food. One of the couple’s daughters, Zion, had spotted the armed men just seconds earlier jumping a fence.

“Today you are a dead man,” one of the gunmen reported said on May 14 as he dragged Musa to the porch. “Call your Jesus to help you, Mr. CAN man!”

Zion Musa then begged the attackers to spare her father, a request met with a misfired bullet that caused her to faint. She survived but her 52-year-old father – a man who worked closely with Open Doors, a nondenominational group tracking persecuted Christians worldwide – did not.

Musa, according to the group, was one of 2,123 Christians killed last year due to their faith, compared to 1,201 in 2012. More than half of those reported killings (1,213) occurred in Syria, followed by Nigeria (612) and Pakistan (88).

We must pray for and support those who continue in the cause of Christ to their own peril. This news story gives one pause to be thankful, grateful and blessed, knowing we live in a country where this does not happen

Yet.

A large portion of Christians being persecuted today are victims of the Islamic terrorists supported by the Saudis. I'm surprised Prince Al Waleed would approve this article to be run on Sunni Faux Snews. But then again the article doesn't mention how Murdoch's business partners are up to their knees in Christian blood.

As Christians we should boycott Sunni Faux Snews until Murdoch severs his business ties with such a terrorist sponsoring state.
