We had a woman soldier with us in Iraq. She was from Nigeria & Christian. That nation tends to fight over all kinds of differences. Half of her family was Muslim. There were times they got along with each other, other times they didn't. It all depended on who offended who between the two faiths. When I came home, I met another Nigerian Christian. I told her the name of the woman in my unit. A look of sheer hatred came over her face. Her response told me why. We are talking about people of the same race, ethnic group, color, & faith. Why the hatred? Tribal. Her response was: "Do you know what her tribe did to mine?" 200 years ago. Humans always find a reason to hate each other.

We worry about what bathroom is being used by a very few while the slaughter of Christians around the world. From the Brits . . . The persecution of Christians in parts of the world is at near "genocide" levels, according to a report ordered by Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
The review, led by the Bishop of Truro the Right Reverend Philip Mounstephen, estimated that one in three people suffer from religious persecution.
Christians were the most persecuted religious group, it found.
Mr Hunt said he felt that "political correctness" had played a part in the issue not being confronted.

Religious persecution 'a threat to everyone'
The interim report said the main impact of "genocidal acts against Christians is exodus" and that Christianity faced being "wiped out" from parts of the Middle East.
It warned the religion "is at risk of disappearing" in some parts of the world, pointing to figures which claimed Christians in Palestine represent less than 1.5% of the population, while in Iraq they had fallen from 1.5 million before 2003 to less than 120,000.
"Evidence shows not only the geographic spread of anti-Christian persecution, but also its increasing severity," the Bishop wrote. Read the article https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-48146305
