The persecution trap

Religion is growing in some parts of the world and shrinking in others. Christianity is vibrant in Africa and not much elsewhere, yet Christians are increasingly the most persecuted believers. And few governments are willing to help those suffering persecution, partly because liberal governments shrink from confronting the truth of persecution because they refuse to think ill of the persecutors.
