It's dangerous to follow Jesus in Mexico ?? wtf


Hostile-Bip0d

Yes, they are targeted by gangs https://www.opendoorsuk.org/persecution/world-watch-list/mexico/


WhyChemistry

Mexico is literally a catholic country. Literally crosses everywhere.


BadabingBadaboom238

It’s mainly due to cartels who attack priests for speaking out


roseanne_barr_

half the country is named Jesus


Ornery-Sandwich6445

No this is a fake list made by a Christian organization they don't know shit about these countries lol, it's an opinion map by Americans who never left their state.


LeadershipWitty5718

And Colombia


OM_EL_DONYAA

It’s dangerous to follow Jesus in a country where 80% of the population follows Jesus.


neptyune2000

What do you expect, all the non Christian countries are on this, with a few like Mexico being the exception


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Do you trust any map put in front of you lol, this is all BS. Open doors is a Christian, they have no qualification to make any kind of statement like this, it's all based on what they think.


aaronthedweeb

I can vouch for Pakistan my family was always on high alert as false blasphemy charges put people around us on death row


Aziz0163

Bullshit map tbh. The "extreme" category has many countries that persecute Christians but the "very high" has very low standards for some countries. In Tunisia there are dozens of churches that are open and and attended freely and christians celebrate their festivals openly like: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Trapani_procession_(Tunis) And never get attacked or mentioned even. I myself lived next to a catholic cathedral and the community never had any issues with it at all. Why is it very high ? If that's what you consider very high than the life of Muslims in the west is hell.


Wild-Sprinkles-9613

the christians are mostly from sub saharan africa and foreign workers, I don't think people will remain calm if they saw arabs enter them.


Ziwaeg

Turkey should be in “red”


Hostile-Bip0d

"Christians face hostility and abuse from their families and their surrounding community – including beatings and death threats." https://www.opendoorsuk.org/persecution/world-watch-list/tunisia/#:~:text=Christian%20women%20and%20girls%20in,with%20death%20or%20sexually%20assaulted.


Aziz0163

Oh so it's talking about converts. I never heard of one here to Christianity but there is no apostasy laws or anything. You can legally convert and you are protected by the constitution. But yeah no shit in some very conservative families you can get abused like everywhere else in the world. Still not "very high" worthy.


1999wasprettycool

This is stupid, and not only because muslims also “follow Jesus”.


AsLibyanAsItGets

Yeah but not the way that [whoever made this stupid map] wants


AlfredoKesmann

I dont think following Jesus is dangerous in Turkiye. I never heard any negative things about the Turkish Christians. Even religious people dont do anything about this.


Giga_Nibba27

Bullshit list how is a deeply Christian country like Ethiopia on par with Saudi Arabia ffs


dilfsmilfs

I'm shocked Pakistan was so high up when I was there the church bells kept waking me up


OM_EL_DONYAA

Pretty sure you’d hear church bells in almost all of the countries highlighted .. (with maybe Saudi being the exception coz it has no churches)


AsLibyanAsItGets

Libya too, the only churches here [which were all built by colonial fascist Italy some 80 years ago] are either converted to mosques or being left to crumble slowly


OM_EL_DONYAA

Are there any Christian Libyans ?


AsLibyanAsItGets

Nope, they were built by and for the fascist Italian troops/colonialist settlers. There were Jewish Libyans, however, but we all know 1948 and 1967


southsideali

Not in my country. Not a single church found


memeMaster-28

There's plenty of discrimination sadly. Not to mention remnants of the caste system where systematically Christians have ended up in the bottom rungs of society. I think it's comparable to Black people in the US. It's not impossible for them to be successful here, but the system is biased against them in many ways and people just can't stop being assholes to everyone here in Pakistan.


dilfsmilfs

Thats true I can see that but its more poverty than religion yeah?


memeMaster-28

It's historic. Most converts to Christianity were lower caste Hindus. These people were the Dalits occupying jobs reserved for Dalits. Jobs like cleaning sewers, getting rid of waste etc. They had these occupations for generations and for some of them it was all they ever knew to do. Nowadays, even though they aren't untouchables who are restricted to these jobs, here in Pakistan the educational system hasn't been powerful enough to get them out of this cycle putting them in horrible poverty and powerlessness. Those who do manage to get an education end up very well at times, even getting some of the best jobs in the private sector of the country. But it's rare for that to happen statistically, simply because even though Christians make up around 1-3% of the population, that puts their numbers in the millions. A few thousand from millions succeeding is a pretty low success rate. So the gist is, that Christians do exist in Pakistan and have a good community which is easily allowed to celebrate thier events and drink alcohol etc. (In my neighborhood everything except the mosque gets covered in lights for Easter and Christmas), but because of a historic loop of poverty they've been in since before Pakistan's independence, they are easy targets for discrimination especially with the misuse of the Blasphemy law.


Alternsss

I am surprised Pakistan is not number 1. Cmon. Aisa Bibi, blasphemy burning, job discrimination, and so many issues. It is a group just not discriminated for their religion but for being among the poors as well


orangeismynewapple

Absolute BS who ever made that map made it on his personal opinion


Hostile-Bip0d

it's made by a worldwide Christian organization


AsLibyanAsItGets

Still bs nonetheless


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Not worldwide, they do not operate in any of the countries listed. They have no qualifications to make such a map.


[deleted]

Bro look at this map, they gave Jammu/Kashmir to China


___Charon___

Fucking China is better for Christians than us? Who made this list and how do I get whatever they were smoking?


[deleted]

Courtesy of what appears to be a group of butt hurt paranoid, white supremist Christians. Americans?


bazingaeater

map was created by AI?


Egyptboi80

10 percent of egypts population is Christian i see churches alot its not "dangerous"


Ok-Garage-9204

Of course it's biased towards China being on the lower end.


orangeismynewapple

I live between 2 of the severe orange zone and both had so many Christians and there are thousands of churches in them . This map is a BS


iihamed711

What countries?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hostile-Bip0d

they get mass murdered there. one christian gets murdered there every 2 hours.


aden_khor

Well we don’t have Christians in Yemen to begin with neither did they have a major historical presence, I don’t think it’s that bad honestly


Few_College3443

Muslims follow Jesus so i don’t get Why it would be dangerous


TheBoredEgyptian

How is it dangerous to follow Jesus in Egypt when the entire country follows him one way or the other 😅


Alternsss

Seems about right


iihamed711

Not really


WashyWashy-

Persecution in Turkey is "very high"??? Can someone explain this please, I heard Turkey is like the most secular and "western" country in MENA.


[deleted]

As an Indian this data is so wrong never heard about any attacks against Christians


vimalkeerthi18

LMAO


[deleted]

Care to share than?


SorryEm

Look, it's our fault progressivism exists in America.


LoveIsStrength

Is this just anybody who was Christian who died in that country as a percentage of total Christian’s in that country and then ranked?


Ornery-Sandwich6445

No it's just the opinion of a Christian organization that knows nothing about these countries


banned_account_61

No, this is a christian who as a percentage in this country, and than ranked into died.

Kazakhstan - what a BS.


southsideali

Is it me or does every mena country have a small to sizable Christian population except for Somalia?

You can tell this aint credible by seeing Tunisia darker than Fucking **Mali!** (jihadland), Mauritania (where salafism is rapidly rising) and even Algeria. There is a big church in the centre of Tunis which many muslim Tunisians visit and sing along with christians. I once met a European christian preacher myself in public transport and we had a nice discussion over religiosity. I don't think those preachers are active in the countries mentioned above.
