Yet another ghastly war

"He burns with a fervent urgency, because world news sources are reporting atrocities in India worthy of Hitler's ovens in Nazi Germany and Idi Amin's bloody ravages in Uganda. Christian missions in at least 4 giant states – Orissa, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh – are denied the right to practice their faith in any way that might tend to 'convert' these lowly, forsaken people to Christianity. This would include, in many cases, just simple humanitarian aid.

"Right now, Orissa seems the hotbed of violence at its horrific worst. In one Catholic orphanage, bloodthirsty mobs locked up a priest and a computer teacher in a house and burned it down. Many believers in Christ have been hacked to pieces and left on the road, mirroring the carnage in Rwanda. More than 5,000 Christian Dalit families have had their homes burned or destroyed. Though some police have tried to stem the violence, at least warning Christians at the last minute, they've only enabled the victims to escape with their lives, but nothing else to their names."
