Christian Persecution in Muslim Countries

Bruce Thornton at the Hoover Institution writes about Christian persecution in Muslim countries in a review of Raymond Ibrahim’s Crucified Again:

Few people realize that we are today living through the largest persecution of Christians in history, worse even than the famous attacks under ancient Roman emperors like Diocletian and Nero. Estimates of the numbers of Christians under assault range from 100-200 million. According to one estimate, a Christian is martyred every five minutes. And most of this persecution is taking place at the hands of Muslims. Of the top fifty countries persecuting Christians, forty-two have either a Muslim majority or have sizeable Muslim populations.
