Indonesia is becoming a very dangerous place for Christians. I have
missionary acquaintances who have done jail time there for talking about
Jesus. I won't say if they are Americans or Indonesians since I don't
want
to put any of them in further danger.
OK, Jeff, but there was a time in Catholic-dominated Europe when it was
dangerous to be a Jew. In the '30s anti-semitism was preached from pulpits
in Poland and the Vatican said prayers for the "perfidious Jews". It took
decades before Pope John Paul offered formal aplology. Islam was once the
resivoir of learning during the Dark Ages in Europe, as was Celtic Ireland.
And it was a fleet of ships from China that ignited the Renaissance in
Europe in 1434. History is much more complex that what is taught in schools.
