"Why is it that Christians still suffer so much intimidation and discrimination? There are probably many different reasons for this including political and social reasons but no doubt in many places it is because the Christian Churches challenge the systems of injustice, oppression and brute force that exist. True Christianity has always stood for the rights of everyone particularly the basic rights that come before all else; the right to life, the right to food and shelter, the right to education. Often in defending these rights Christians have had to stand against the powerful, the wealthy and the tyrannical and have suffered as a result."
