World Watch List 2013 - The Top 10 Persecuted Countries
from Open Doors Ministry
The Top 10 Countries are:
1. North Korea... Communist
2. Saudi Arabia... Islamic
3. Afghanistan... Islamic
4. Iraq... Islamic
5. Somalia... Islamic
6. Maldives... Islamic
7. Mali... Islamic
8. Iran... Islamic
9. Yemen... Islamic
10. Eritrea... Oriental Orthodox and Islam
(remember, Orthodox groups are not evangelical, Bible believing Christian groups. In fact, the Orthodox of Eritrea not only report on Bible Christians, they persecute them).
I find it interesting that President Hussein of the United State has been openly supportive of communism, Islam and is hostile to Bible Christianity, even in our own country.
BTW, this is not intended to start a verbal assault on Hussein. These recent lists I have posted simply and clearly point out the fact that the most oppressed, most dangerous, most controlled and most anti-Christian countries in the world share a common world view, whether it is based in

BTW, this is not intended to start a verbal assault on Hussein. These recent lists I have posted simply and clearly point out the fact that the most oppressed, most dangerous, most controlled and most anti-Christian countries in the world share a common world view, whether it is based in
Communism (secular humanism), or
Atheism, or
so-called Christian groups, such as Orthodox and Roman Catholicism (aberrant forms of Christianity), or
Islam.
Also this is to point out that the USA is moving from a more Bible friendly nation to one that is intolerant of Christ followers.
ALL LISTS TOGETHER...
Here are the other lists I recently posted. This way you can see all of the info at one time.
TOP TEN MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRIES, IN WHICH TO LIVE (2013)...
This list was taken from an internet site, Click Top 10.
The Ten Most Oppressive Countries in the World
1- Somalia (Islamic)...
2- Afghanistan (Islamic)...
3- Iraq (Islamic)...
4- Syria (Islamic)...
5- Yemen (Islamic)...
6- Sudan and South Sudan (Islamic)...
7- Haiti, due to natural disaster, poverty and disease (overwhelmingly Roman Catholic with historic ties to Voodoo)...
8- Honduras (97% Roman Catholic)...
9- Pakistan (Islamic)...
10- Niger (Islamic)...
TOP TEN MOST OPPRESSIVE LEADERS IN THE WORLD
(This particular study seems to be based on oppressive leaders).
This list was taken from actionforourplanet.com This is, by no means, a conservative group.
1- Zimbabwe... Robert Mugabe (Roman Catholic)
2- Sudan... Omar Al-Bashir (Muslim)
3- North Korea... Kim Jong-Il (Juche, Personality Cult, worship of man, esp. Kim Jong-Il)
4- Burma... Than Shwe (Buddhist)
5- Saudi Arabia... King Abdulah (Muslim)
6- China... Hu Jintao (Atheist, Communist)
7- Iran... Sayyid Ali Khamenei (Islam)
8- Eritrea... Isaias Afwerki (Marxism)
9- Turkmenistan... Berdymukhammedov (Muslim)
10 - Libya... Muammar Al-Gaddafi (Muslim)
BTW, there are various groups that do these lists, but they are all very, very similar (most of them are the same). While some people would list certain people because of political leanings, remember, these lists are determined by objective, not subjective, criteria. While I do not like some of the things that George W. Bush did, there is no way he should be in this group, just because you don't like him. After all, I would not put Obama in here, and I don't hardly like anything he has done
TOP TEN MOST CENSORED COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD
Special Reports (from COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS.)
(I add the religious/philosophical orientation of these nations, because freedom of expression follows freedom of religion). Remember, Orthodox religions are not Biblical Christianity.
1- Eritrea... Mix of Oriental Orthodox (part of the Eastern Orthodox) and Roman Catholic and Islam. Evangelicals are persecuted by both the Orthodox and the Muslims in Eritrea.
2- North Korea... Primarily an atheist nation, strongly opposed to Bible believing Christianity.
3- Syria... Mostly Muslim, with about 10% of population in the Roman Catholic and other Orthodox groups. Bible believing Christians are a minute minority.
4- Iran... Almost completely Islam.
5- Equatorial Guinea... Almost 90% Roman Catholic.
6- Uzbekistan... Over 90% Islam.
7- Burma... Almost 90% Buddhist.
8- Saudi Arabia... Islamic.
9- Cuba... Roman Catholic.
10- Belarus... Overwhelmingly Orthodox and Non religious.
The runners-up:
These heavily censored countries nearly made CPJ's list.
Turkmenistan... Overwhelmingly Islamic.
China... Folk religions, Taoism, Buddhism, and atheism predominate.
Ethiopia... Orthodox, Islamic and Animism.
Vietnam... Overwhelmingly Indigenous, non religious and Buddhist.
Sudan... The overwhelming religious belief is Islamic..
Azerbaijan... Over 90% Muslim.
The point of these lists is to show that undesirable places have commonality among them. It is not an accident.
