CHRISTIANS UNDER

PERSECUTION
There is only one planet Earth that is populated in various
regions by diverse Religious Groups.

Some countries with good Governance and well organized

Judicial, Civil , and Religious Institutions promote
Religious Tolerance and encourage Freedom of Worship .

These countries with Good Governance tolerate Freedom of

Expression that respects and guarantees Religious Freedom.

It is easy for anyone to draw up a list of countries with good

Governance .
 Christians Under Persecution
 The aim of this Presentation is too highlight the plight of
Christians and Jews that are Persecuted worldwide and
to raise awareness of the Religious Persecution of
Religious Groups with specific reference to Christians
and Jews.

This is by no means an exhaustive study of the extent of

World Wide Religious Persecution of Christians and
Jews and other Religious Groups.

 There are several documented cases of the Religious

Persecution of Christian and Jews .
 Christians Under Persecution
 Some Religious Groups in the World in no particular Order
include :-

 Judaism
 Christianity
 Hinduism
 Buddhism
 Islam
 Baha'ism
 Shinto's
 Rastafarian
 etc
 Christians Under Persecution
The Jews and Christians believe that the LORD GOD
created the Heaven and the Earth as detailed in the Bible
with specific reference to the Genesis Account of the
Creation of the Heavens and the Earth that includes the
Creation of plant and animal and human life on Earth.

There are other “...Religious Beliefs...” that are Anti-Bible

and Antichrist and that deny the Deity of the LORD
JESUS CHRIST .
 Anti- Bible Religious Groups
Not all Religions on earth believe the Bible. There are religions on Earth that do not
believe the Bible and are Anti- Bible .

Anti-Biblical beliefs encourage an atmosphere of intolerance and social unrest that

leads to anarchy and a spike in criminal activities including religious persecution .

Anti-Bible Religions in no particular order include :-

Pantheism
Atheism
Darwinism
Paganism
Satanism
The Occult
Etc
 Christians Under Persecution
 There is growing evidence that appears to suggest that Christians
together with the Jews are being deliberately targeted by other Religious
Groups and Non-Religious Groups for Religious Persecution ;

 Public Statements by World Bodies like the United Nations and the
European Union that do not out rightly condemn the Religious
Persecution of Jews and Christians and the deliberate absence of strong
statements of condemnation of such persecution would appear to
suggest that they condone Religious Persecution of Christians and Jews ;

 Their calls for so called “.. Religious Tolerance...” would appear to

deliberately excuse certain Specified Religious Groups that are either
based on Judean Christian Principles and values.

 Freedom of Worship
 What is True Worship ?
 What is True Religion ?
 What is the separation of Church and State ?
 Should the State dictate Religious Worship within
the confines of it’s Jurisdiction ?
 Should those that demand Religious Tolerance
reciprocate in kind by promoting Freedom of
Worship and promoting Freedom of Expression ?
 Should the State allow idly stand by when a so called
Religious Majority Group deliberately targets and
persecutes a so called Religious Minority Group ?
 Religious Freedom and Religious Tolerance
 What is Religious Freedom ?
 What is Religious Tolerance ?
 What is Freedom of Worship ?
 What is Freedom of Expression ?
 What is Religious Blasphemy ?
 Should the State have a duty of care to ensure that there mob justice
does not usurp the Authority of the State ?
 Should the State re-examine some of it’s badly drafted and hastily
enacted laws to ensure that the Rule of Law prevails over Anarchy ?
 Is the death penalty too extreme for so called cases of “...Religious
Blasphemy...” ?
 Does the state have a duty to protect its citizens from being unjustly
targeted for “..Religious Persecution..” by so called “...Religious
Extremists...” ?
 The Failure of Judicial Systems to Guarantee Freedom of Worship

 People talk of Religious Tolerance but substantial documentary evidence

provides an alarming International Social Indifference to the so called
“...modern trend to subvert the Rule of Law and use unjust and illegal Laws
to Persecute Christians and Jews” .

 The subversion of the Rule of Law to Persecute any Religious Group

should be condemned by International Bodies like the United Nations and
the European Union without fear or favour of any so called Civilized Nation
that portrays a International Public Image of Good Governance and
Religious Tolerance but condones Religious Persecution in their back yard.

 There is substantial case law in the majority of countries that documents

the failure of the Judicial System of certain countries to safeguard the
rights of people of all Religious Backgrounds to have Freedom of Worship
and Freedom of Expression , with specific reference to the unjust Religious
Persecution of many Christians and Jews.
 Freedom of Worship
 QUOTE :- “... In 2005, a group of academic institutions with interest in
freedom of religion or belief (FORB) assembled with the aim of developing
an electronic forum, possibly stimulated from time to time by relevant
academic conferences, to encourage in-depth discussion of issues pending
before the European Court of Human Rights and other international
institutions. This group has come to be known as the Strasbourg Consortium.

 The first conference of the Consortium was held 28-30 July 2005 in
Strasbourg, France. The discussion at that conference focused primarily on
Leyla Şahin v. Turkey, a case before the Grand Chamber of the European
Court of Human Rights at that time dealing with the issue of religious
headscarves in government universities. This initial conference resulted in a
wealth of scholarly analysis and discussion on the important issues
implicated by the Şahin case.....”. UNQUOTE.

The applicant was from a traditional family of practicing Muslims and considered it her
religious duty to where the Islamic headscarf. Whilst a student at medical school in Istanbul she
was denied access to a written examination, a lecture and was also refused enrolment by a
specific department of the school due to her refusal to remove her headscarf in contravention of
a university regulation forbidding, amongst other things, the wearing of the headscarf during
academic study on campus. Before the European Court the applicant alleged that the ban on
wearing the Islamic headscarf constituted an unjustified interference with her right to freedom
of religion, in particular her right to manifest her religion. She also alleged violation of a
number of other rights, including non-discrimination and freedom of expression. The State
party contested these assertions, claiming that there had been no interference with the
applicant's freedom of religion as the ban only applied within the sphere of state education, a
public service. The State argued further that even if there had been an interference it was
justified as the principle of secularism was crucial to Turkey's existence as a functioning liberal
democracy, and that the ban on Islamic headscarves in higher-education institutions was
necessary for protecting that principle.......”UNQUOTE.

The Court emphasised that the right to freedom of religion "is one of the
foundations of a democratic society" and that "the pluralism indissociable from a
democratic society...depends on it" (para. 66).
 The Court went on to state that "Article 9 does not protect every act motivated or
inspired by a religion or a belief and does not in all cases guarantee the right to
behave in the public sphere in a way which is dictated by a belief" (para.66)
However, any restriction to the right must be "prescribed by law", in pursuance of
a legitimate aim and be "necessary in a democratic society" (para. 67).
 The Court asserted that "in democratic societies, in which several religions coexist
within one and the same population, it may be necessary to place restrictions on
freedom to manifest one's religion or belief in order to reconcile the interests of
the various groups and ensure that everyone's beliefs are respected" (para.

 QUOTE : The Court cited the decisions of Karaduman v. Turkey (no. 16278/90, Commission
decision of 3 May 1993, DR 74, p. 93) and Dahlab v. Switzerland (no. 42393/98, ECHR 2001-V),
noting that the Convention institutions had found that in a democratic society the State was entitled
to place restrictions on the wearing of the Islamic headscarf if it was incompatible with the pursued
aim of aim of protecting the rights and freedoms of others, public order and safety (para. 98).
 In applying these principles to the instant case, the Court accepted the State's position that

secularism in Turkey was "the guarantor of democratic values, the principle that freedom of religion
is inviolable - to the extent that it stems from individual conscience - and the principle that citizens
are equal before the law" (para. 105). The court considered that upholding this notion of secularism
might be regarded as necessary for the protection of the democratic system in Turkey.
The Court stated that "In a country like Turkey, where the great majority of the population belong to
a particular religion, measures taken in universities to prevent certain fundamentalist religious
movements from exerting pressure on those who do not practice that religion ... may be justified
under Article 9 (2) of the Convention. In that context, secular universities may regulate
manifestation of the rights and symbols of the said religion by imposing restrictions as to the place
and manner of such manifestation with the aim of ensuring peaceful co-existence between students
of various faiths and thus protecting public order and the beliefs of others" (para.
99)....”.UNQUOTE.

necessary, regard must be had to "the impact which wearing such a symbol, which is presented
or perceived as a compulsory religious duty, may have on those who choose not to wear it"
(para. 108). The Court had previously noted that the headscarf might appear to be a repressive
measure "imposed on women by a precept laid down in the Koran that was hard to reconcile
with the principle of gender equality" (para. 98). The Court noted that Turkey was a
predominantly Muslim country and that there were "extremist political movements in Turkey
that seek to impose on society as a whole their religious symbols and conception of a society
founded on religious precepts" (para. 108). The Court accepted the right of States to take a
stance against such movements and stated that the ban on headscarves had to be viewed in that
context as a legitimate measure intended to ensure the protection of pluralism in universities in
an environment designed to teach students the value of "respect for the rights of others, and in
particular equality before the law of men and women" (para. 110).

The Court found that no separate issue arose under Article 10 of the Convention (freedom of
expression) as the relevant circumstances were the same as those examined in relation to Article
9.....”.UNQUOTE.
