Christians continued to be the most persecuted group across the globe in 2016, according to a study.

The upcoming report from Italian-based Center for Studies on New Religions, determined that 90,000 Christians were killed for their beliefs worldwide last year and nearly a third were at the hands of Islamic extremists like ISIS. Others were killed by state and non-state persecution, including in places like North Korea.

“U.S. policy has not had a strategy for specifically addressing the persecution of Christians,” Ryan Mauro, national security analyst for the Clarion Project, told FoxNews.com “For example, very few people are even aware that Iraqi Christians began organizing to defend themselves and needed our help."

The study also found that as many as 600 million Christians were prevented from practicing their faith in 2016.

The findings continue a disturbing trend from the previous year in which Christians around the world endured horrific acts of persecution, including imprisonment and beheadings.

“These numbers underscore what we already know," Robert Nicholson of the Philos Project said to Foxnews.com."There are many places on earth where being a Christian is the most dangerous thing you can be.

"Those who think of Christianity as a religion of the powerful need to see that in many places it’s a religion of the powerless. And the powerless deserve to be protected.”

The Christian population in Iraq alone has plummeted from 1.5 million in 2003 to current estimates of 275,000 and could be gone for good within just a few years, according to activists. The dwindling numbers are due to genocide, refugees fleeing to other countries, those who are internally displaced, and others hiding in plain sight and not allowing their faith to be publicly known.

When liberals decry the plight of the poor Muslims in this world at the hands of the mean xenophobes who might dare deny them entry into their countries, how is it that they fail to mention exactly who's behind a third of the persecutions of people of the Christian Faith, and who are the true embodiment of xenophobia?


It blows my ever loving mind how Liberals can rally behind a people who are so opposed to other beliefs, including Christians, homosexuals, Jews, and to the point of persecuting them, or putting them to death or public cainings and the like. What do they think they will stand to gain from all of this? Do they think they will actually rally them to their side? Do they think they will gain a political advantage by getting them to vote Democrat?

What do you think is the end game here for the Liberals?
