A 100-strong mob surrounded the police station in Delhi’s GTB Nagar for several hours and raised provocative slogans as the pastor and injured persons reached to file their complaint.

And that justifies their religious persecution in 2023?
There’'s an ethnic & communal genocide going on in Manipur, India, for the past 110 days by Meitei Hindu supremacists with the active participation of the Hndu supremacist state. In this violence Kukis who are mostly Christians have been raped, tortured, killed, their limbs hacked, burnt alive, rendered homeless, their homes & churches have been burnt. A severely injured 7 year old child was burnt alive in the ambulance along with his mother and his aunt.
Christians in various parts of India have faced and continue to face horrifying brutality by Hindu supremacists. here’s one such incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Kandhamal_violence
Graham Staines, a pastor along with his two sons, Philip (aged 10) and Timothy (aged 6), were burnt alive in the vehicle they were sleeping in by Hindu supremacists.
In less violent incidents, Hindu supremacists have sttopped them fommeeting, from parying together, torn their Bibles, baten them up, lost them their jobs, made false allegations and police complaints on them.
Yesterday, a Hindu supremacist mob attacked a church, wounded the people, tore up their Bibles, and then harassed them when they were inside the police station.
And here you are cheering their persecution, because they’re somehow answerable for events that happened before their birth, which they had no hand in?
I don’t cheer for children being persecuted, as they are usually too young to properly understand their religion. I also don’t advocate such violent and brutal measures, even though there are and were Christians that used those exact methods to spread their religion. But I don’t support Christianity, which is a religion of hate, and am not too concerned about adult Christians being attacked for their faith.
You don’t have to support Christianity, or any religion for that matter, to be against religious persecution. They are mutually exclusive. They are not two sides of the same coin where you must land on one side or the other, they are two separate coins.
Yes, the victim of organized religion is the individual, but the victim of religious persecution is counterintuitively not the religion itself, nor its systems or organizations, it is unfortunately more individuals.
thank you for aying what I’ve been struggling to articulate.
Religious/ethnic persecution, religious/ethnic supremacism, and religious/ethnic extremism are the hallmarks of barbarism and opposing them is the minimum basic of a civilized people.
A Hindu supremacist mob doesn’t gently take the children away to safety and then return to rape, torture, and kill their parents.
