They will Kill You if You Believe…

Where is it hard to be a follower of Christ? The linked article gives the 2009 list of nations in which you would be truly persecuted for belief in Christ. With their continued slide into polytheism alongside growing Muslim populations, I fully expect to see some Western European nations make this list in my lifetime, possibly even a North American nation. Here’s a quote:

Saudi Arabia again took the No. 2 spot, followed by Iran (No. 3), Afghanistan (No. 4), Somalia (No. 5), Maldives (No. 6), Yemen (No. 7), and Uzbekistan (No. 10). Compared to last year’s Open Doors’ World Watch List, the 2009 list had one more Muslim dominated country.

Taking the top spot again this year for the seventh year in a row is the totalitarian and reclusive state of North Korea.
