This “review” is almost certain to be a useless exercise. The British government barred accused “blasphemer” Asia Bibi from entering the country, for fear that if she did, Muslims would riot. Now, if they’re honestly going to “review” the persecution of Christians worldwide, they will find that the perpetrators are mostly Muslims, and will deep-six the “review” for fear of appearing “Islamophobic.”
“Persecution against Christians to be subject of British government review,” by Dom Calicchio, Fox News, December 25, 2018:
With violence against the world’s Christians reportedly on the rise, Britain’s government announced Wednesday that it has commissioned an independent review into the persecution.
The goal of the British plan is to develop practical steps for supporting Christians around the globe, particularly women and children, who are often subjected to sexual violence, Reuters reported.
Some 215 million Christians worldwide faced persecution last year, a British statement said, with about 250 Christians killed every month.
“So often the persecution of Christians is a telling early warning sign of the persecution of every minority,” British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said in the statement. “Today I have asked the Bishop of Truro to look at how the British government can better respond to the plight of persecuted Christians around the world. We can and must do more.”…

I have a solution for you. Kick out the muslims and bring in the Christians. Problem solved.
Frederick King says
Ms Bibi, and others like her, should be the only ones allowed to migrate from islamic countries.

And that right there tells you everything you need to know regarding the British government. Scared stiff is no way to go through life.
Rufolino says
Yes -this is an empty exercise, a calculating political gesture.
There is no likelihood of anything coming of it, because government in the UK is in bed with Islam for their votes.
(The bedroom curtains are closed and the truth must not be talked about.)
Sickening hypocrisy and immorality and it’s going to get much, much worse.
tgusa says
Sickening hypocrisy and immorality. I would be inclined to call it sickening cowardice but either way you are most assuredly right, it is sickening.
Peter Clemerson says
For this non-US citizen, what does “deep six” mean?
R Russell says
Brits write to Jeremy Hunt. Tell him about the Pakistanis in the UK awaiting deportation to Pakistan. Tell him at least 3 other Christians in Pakistan have been sentenced to death for blasphemy since Asia Bibi’s acquittal was announced. Tell him Asia Bibi’s lawyer visited family in the uk without any unrest. Tell him about the Burmese Christians who are constantly persecuted but only the Rohinhya Muslims get publicity. And the Indian Christians persecuted by Hindu extremists. Go on Open Doors and get him the info. Flood his mailbox with thousands of emails.
It’s the least we can do for our suffering brothers and sisters.
Please – it’s the least we can do.
Rufolino says
Please ! The UK Government already knows all this !!
R Russell says
Yes, but the more people who draw it to their attention the more they ate likely to act and not whitewash.

Nothing may become of this report but producing this sort of report is also how British Governments and Civil Service change. The first report is normally ignored EXCEPT by the people who write the second report.
To inform the people who write the second report we need to ensure that this report contains plenty of evidence of the atrocities being committed and the sort of crimes being committed.

The word ‘hypocrisy’ doesn’t even begin to cover Jeremy Hunt’s behaviour in this matter. He is telling the Bishop of Truro to start an inquiry into the treatment of Christians? Surely we can save him the money and the time. This is similar to asking a professor of mathematics to check the sum of 2 plus 2. (Before you get worried Jeremy, it is 4) Any good history book will tell him that Islam has been attacking the west for 1400 years. And the reason those Christians died is quite simple: it is because governments in the west have never taken revenge. Yes, a bad word isn’t it. Let’s take an analogy: a bully approaches you and demands money. You give it to him. He will come back. But when he approaches you for money you actually break his nose. He will rarely approach you again.
We are letting hundreds of thousands of moslems from the middle east and paying them while rejecting those few christians who are trying to escape persecution like Asia Bibi. This poor woman has shown more courage than British governments have in 60 years. It’s embarrassing to see our governments in the west bowing down to the animals who will never understand western values.

Our useless Prime Minister, Teresa May, is a church going Christian so that makes the exclusion of Asia Bibi all the worse. This country is continuing its accelerating descent into full-blown Dhimmitude!
R Russell says
She does go to church. I wonder what she thinks a Christian is?
