“Faith Under Fire: Why Christians Are Being Killed for Their Belief” by Samuel Carter, which functions as a sobering report on the extensive global persecution of Christians. The article asserts that over 380 million Christians face high or extreme persecution, noting that at least 5,600 believers were killed for their faith in the last reporting year alone. The source details how persecution is particularly lethal in Sub-Saharan Africa, naming countries like Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo as epicenters of violence perpetrated by militant groups. Furthermore, the text outlines how the Middle East and South Asia use blasphemy and anti-conversion laws to justify violence, while authoritarian states like North Korea and China employ state control and imprisonment to suppress Christianity. The author concludes by critiquing the international community’s perceived silence regarding this human rights crisis.
