September 2011 persecution of Christians by Islamists: a partial list

"Hudson New York" is a website that compiles and provides details in a monthly list of Islamic persecution of Christians around the Muslim-dominated areas of the world. In September, 2011, for example, the site lists persecution of Christians in Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, Tunisia, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Philippines, Nigeria, and Syria. The blog endeavors:

1. To document that which the mainstream media does not: habitual, if not chronic, Muslim persecution of Christians.
2. To show that such persecution is not "random," but systematic and interrelated—that it is ultimately rooted in a worldview inspired by Sharia Law.

Accordingly, whatever the anecdote of persecution, it typically fits under a specific theme, including hatred for churches and other Christian symbols; sexual abuse of Christian women; forced conversions to Islam; apostasy and blasphemy laws; theft and plunder in lieu of jizya; overall expectations for Christians to behave like cowed dhimmis [second-class citizens]; and simple violence and murder. Often it is a combination thereof.

Because these accounts of persecution span different ethnicities, languages, and locales—from Morocco in the west, to India in the east, and even throughout the West, wherever there are Muslims—it should be clear that one thing alone binds them: Islam—whether the strict application of Sharia, or the supremacist culture born of it.
