Every five minutes, a Christian is killed for his faith !! – Yet another white lie to fool rich donors

The latest lie about Christian persecution has come from Hungary. They do not tell who has been doing the killing, though they have been counting the numbers with stopwatch in hand.
It is a pity that Hindus being killed in Kashmir, Pakistan and Bangladesh have nobody to keep such count.

The news is from the International Business Times of Los Angeles.

“June 11, 2011 1:40 AM EDT: A shocking fact that 105,000 Christians are martyred every year simply for their faith was revealed at an international interfaith conference. This statistic does not include war victims.
“The International Conference on Inter-religious dialogue between Christians, Jews and Muslims” took place in Hungary, and the figures were announced by the representative of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Massimo Introvigne.
“Every five minutes, a Christian is killed for his faith,” he said.
“If these figures are not cried out to the world, if this massacre is not stopped, if it is not recognized that the persecution against Christians is the first worldwide emergency with regard to religious discrimination and violence, dialogue between religions will only produce wonderful symposia but no concrete results.”
Metropolitan Hilarion, foreign minister of the Russian Orthodox Church, highlighted that among the Christians being persecuted in a year, “at least one million” were children.
The conference was hosted by the Hungarian government as a highlight of its EU presidency of the European Union. Participants included religious representatives from across the world crossing various faiths.”

Considering that we have only less than 200 crores of Christians in the whole world, these figures might include death from natural causes also. But figures can be made to lie in any way. We may consider the number of Moslems bombed to death by the USA in recent years to compare this with.

These figures are used by Christian Missionaries to dupe the rich donors who hand out huge donations to protect these souls from the hands of Non Christians!.

Let us wait for Indian secularists to come up with the Indian percentage in the above one-per-five-minutes arithmetic.
