Burma vs Christians

The military regime in Burma is intent on wiping out Christianity in the country, according to claims in a secret document believed to have been leaked from a government ministry. Entitled "Programme to destroy the Christian religion in Burma", the incendiary memo contains point by point instructions on how to drive Christians out of the state.

The text, which opens with the line "There shall be no home where the Christian religion is practised", calls for anyone caught evangelising to be imprisoned. It advises: "The Christian religion is very gentle – identify and utilise its weakness."

An interesting story and hope it will garner some talk.

The Burmese government wipes out anyone who opposes it, whether they be religious groups, or just in the wrong ethnic group. It's one of the most violent regimes on earth.

Burma is a Buddhism country. Christianity is no more than a cult for the majority of the Burmese. If necessary, they will ban Islam or "Scientology" too.

I realize that Burma is Buddhist, I have been in Buddhists countries and this is the first time I have heard such a call. I also realize that the leaders are very suppressive and cruel.

Let's say that it is more disciplined.
