“The worst place of all undoubtedly is Iraq, where there was a recent church bombing, but we’ve also seen church attacks and village attacks in Egypt. We saw the deportation of scores of Christians in the relatively moderate country of Morocco. There is a Christian pastor on death row for apostasy in Iran. And in Pakistan, now for the first time a Christian woman has been condemned to death for blasphemy.”
