I know, time is precious, but please take an hour and a half to watch the video (see below) of a talk given by John L. Allen, Jr., at the recent Los Angeles Religious Education Congress 2012 on the global war on Christians.

Yes, Christians are the most persecuted group in the contemporary world. (Via The Metaphysical Peregrine)
