Europe’s silence about persecution of Christians elsewhere is shameful

The recent slaughter of holidaymakers on an idyllic Tunisian beach sent shockwaves of revulsion throughout the world. 

It was right that An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, should extend Ireland’s sympathy to the relatives of the Irish and British people so callously murdered. We can but hope that the misguided zealots will not spread further terror and spill innocent blood.

Sadly, and unreported, many hundreds of Christians are daily being slain in middle-eastern and Asian countries. Their only crime is being Christian. They are defenceless in countries of other religions and which have carte blanche to do with Christians whatever they wish. Being put to the sword, or being beheaded, are regular occurrences.
