Really...? Seriously...?

Religious Persecution Is Widespread
Okay, this is just wrong on so many different levels! Whenever I read this, I was just about speechless. It's bad enough we have terrorism, but now this?! I thought we would be done with religious persecution after the Holocaust, but this proves me wrong.
Twelve thousand people have been killed in Nigeria during the last ten years, all because of religious persecution. This conflict between the Christians and Muslims is unreal. And the worst part of it is that NO ONE has been convicted and sentenced for the killings! Also Nigeria isn't the only country. The U.S. Commission has done a report on International Religious Freedom and it names more than two dozen countries as offenders.
I don't know if you have noticed yet but this is a huge violation of human rights. And as you may know, that goes against the CST of Rights and Responsibilities of the Human Person. We, as a human being, have freedom of thought. And these people who killed one another apparently don't have the responsibility to respect each other's rights.  
Take a look at the link at the top and leave comments on how you feel about it.
