John Whitehead: “Chinese-Christians Are Paying a High Price for the Olympics”
John W. Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute has this commentary on Virtue Online. He writes:
The world is finally seeing China for what it is: a totalitarian dictatorship.
It’s widely known that China has been rounding up and persecuting First Amendment advocates . . .
Little, however, is said about China’s religious persecution, especially of Christians. Yet it is on par with, if not worse than, the harsh and oppressive treatment of demonstrators in Tibet that has received widespread news coverage and caused public outrage. And it’s been happening for years. . .
It’s time that Christians in America gain a moral backbone and fight for their fellow Christians. And they need to urge that guy in the White House, the one they helped elect to two terms who claims to be a Christian, to take a stand on the issue at the very least.
