As shocking as this latest atrocity against (primarily) Christians is, for some Christians in some parts of the world to be a practicing Christian means literally put your life on the line. On average every month:

345 Christians are killed for faith-related reasons
105 Churches and Christian buildings are burned or attacked
219 Christians are detained without trial, arrested, sentenced and imprisoned

Women are the most vulnerable because in some cultures being a woman and a Christian means they face double persecution. Us Christians in the West have no idea of what persecution really means. The worst we can expect at the moment is general derision or more usually total apathy but in the future....?
