Nigeria ‘At War’ With Islamic Terrorists
The spokesman for Nigeria's president has described the conflict with Islamic terrorist in the countries North as a state of war. Over the past several years militants connected with the Boko Haram group have murdered thousands of civilians, often targeting churches and Christian villages. Earlier this week 16 Christians, mostly women and children, were shot or burned alive by a group of Islamic militants in Plateau State in a series of attacks on Christian villages. Nigeria's security forces appear to be unable or unwilling to stop the weekly attacks.
Court in Malaysia Adjourns Controversial ‘Allah’ Case
A seven judge panel this week announced they would adjourn Malaysia's controversial court case on the use of the word "Allah" to a "later date." The ruling came as hundreds of Muslims protested outside the courthouse, demanding that the Arabic word for God be limited by law to only Muslim use. Malay Christians have been using the Arabic word for God as far back as four hundred years ago. The issue has become the focal point of intolerance towards Christians and other minority faiths in a country that was once known for its peaceful coexistence of a diverse group of religions.
Egypt – Kidnapped Brides – An Interview with Coptic Lawyer Said Fayez
A revealing interview with an Egyptian human rights lawyer highlights the rash of kidnappings of Christian girls throughout Egypt. This is a trend that has existed for years but has increased within the last three. The abuse that takes place in many of these instances, and that often goes unreported, is heartbreaking.
Rep. Wolf: More Must Be Done To Protect Christians In Syria
As the conflict in Syria moves closer to its third year, attention is again being raised to the plight of the country’s Christian community which has been left vulnerable in the midst of the conflict. Throughout the Middle East Christians have typically presented a moderating force, committed to non-violence, valuing diversity, and promoting peace-building and education. With the specific targeting of Christians and churches this appears to be lost as many have fled their homes and for some the region.
China: Officials in Zhejiang Province Forcibly Remove Crosses from Church Buildings
Two churches located in the coastal province of Zhejiang, China, have had the crosses atop their buildings forcibly removed after authorities decided they were too "conspicuous." The pastor of one of the churches said he had no input in the decision and that local authorities simply showed up with cranes to demolish the cross atop his church. Both churches effected belong to the official government controlled Three-Self Patriotic Movement. Persecution of these churches is rare unless the congregations or pastor step outside of strict guidelines mandated by the Communist Party. Millions of Christians in China choose to worship outside of these legal churches in unregistered "house churches" despite the risk of arrest.

New class of antibiotics discovered by chemists
A new class of antibiotics to fight bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and other drug-resistant bacteria that threaten public health has been discovered by a team of chemists. The new class, called oxadiazoles, was discovered in silico (by computer) screening and has shown promise in the treatment of MRSA in mouse models of infection. MRSA has become a global public-health problem since the 1960s because of its resistance to antibiotics.
