Indian Muslim Extremists Threaten to Burn Christians Alive

By Jeremy Reynalds
Correspondent for ASSIST News Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. (ANS) -- Muslims in Nutangram, West Bengal attacked Christian converts from Islam and threatened to burn them alive if they don’t return to Islam.

The incident occurred on Dec. 18 2009.

According to a news release from International Christian Concern (ICC), the Muslims verbally abused the members of a church designed for believers with an Islamic background, and also threatened to burn their homes.

ICC said the alleged perpetrators also called for a social boycott against the believers and forced all area store owners not to sell anything to Christians or give water to them. They also urged the Muslim relatives of Christians not to allow any Christians to use their bathrooms.

On Dec. 19, the Christians lodged a complaint at Nurshidabad police station. On visiting the site, the police confirmed that the report was true.

ICC said a source told the organization, “The recent incident left the 100 church members shaken.”

ICC said the source added that calm has now returned to the area after police talked to the attackers and warned them not to disturb the Christians again.

ICC’s Regional Manager for Africa and South Asia, Jonathan Racho said in the news release, “We condemn the attacks and the threats against Christian converts in Nutangram. We call upon officials of India to protect the Christian converts from further attacks and bring the perpetrators of the attacks to justice.”

ICC asked those concerned to pray for the Christians, and added, “Please call the Indian embassy in your countries and politely ask Indian officials to protect the Christians and bring the perpetrators of the attacks to justice.”

ICC is a Washington-DC based human rights organization that exists to help persecuted Christians worldwide. For more information go towww.persecution.org

Ramblings on an active,full, and tiring two weeks but restful rather than "busy" two weeks

  Happy and grateful to God that this week I got a lot of preparation done (the behind-the-scenes stuff). It has been full (maybe even overflowing), and certainly tiring, but happily not "busy". Setting aside the many regular and emergency activities, there has been a lot of preparation (behind the scenes) matters that required my attention. In danger of feeling overwhelmed as many things got "stuck". It has been in a sense of stressful week that is actually a spillover from last week. But by the grace of God, a lot fell into place and was completed this week. This Sunday's sermon. My Easter sermon for next week (but as usual, I expect there will be a few last-minute revisions 😀) Weekly notes for April's bulletins The next home group meeting study questions about Moses' life. My mental block was removed so was able to start work on study questions on the book of Jeremiah Same for a youth Bible study on the book of Acts. While I still have 5 more Sunday

Thanks, everyone for the birthday wishes via FB, FB messenger, regular text, and WhatsApp. I am not one that is big on celebrating my birthdays. But since it was my 60th, the one thing I did was take the day off to relax. I did some reading, watched TV, and played a PC game. No not Civ 6 or Xcom2 but something different - Age of Empires 4. Rather educational cut scenes too 😁 No special meals as my wife had to work. But on Monday she made me a huge cheesecake and a large tray of lasagna. 😋 And I ate that for three meals 🤣 Monday night's dinner, and yesterday for lunch and dinner. No complaint. was good. My plan was to attend a magic lecture last night BUT, plans for derailed due to helping sort out my wife's car. The lecture was part of my personal birthday plans 🙁BUT all good, wife comes first! I told my family NOT to buy me anything as I think can end up being a waste of money if it ends up being something I don't really want or need. Instead, I decided to buy myself
