Simply ignoring a problem won’t make it disappear. Not nearly enough is being done to combat the persecution of religious believers worldwide. One would expect that, when the different superpowers in the world today are frequently being informed of atrocities being committed against various faiths in countries worldwide, more would be done to prevent serious injury and death of innocent people. However, minimal action is currently being taken against perpetrators by uninvolved countries.

Had any serious religious persecution ever occurred in any of the countries that formed the economic and political center of the world today, there would undoubtedly have had to be intervention on the part of the countries that were affected by it. Paul Marshall, a senior fellow at Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom, states that it is surprising that intervention by uninvolved or unaffected governments is not a common occurrence in almost all cases of religious persecution ( 2). According to U.S. Congressman Don Nickles, the issue of religious persecution has been conveniently steered clear of by major political actors and the western mainstream media.

Derek Davis proposes a few ideas of actions that could be taken to aid religious persecution worldwide. They are the implementation of treaties by more countries’ governments into the legal systems of those countries. These countries should write their laws so that it obligates them to intervene in Humanitarian crises like religious persecution in countries where these emergencies are occurring ( 25). Another solution could be legislation by world governments to limit religious persecution and punish countries that allow persecution to happen ( 26). Also educating the world about the reality and extreme volume of religious persecution and giving more financial and vocal support to organizations that support the victims of religious persecution ( 27). The Church should be kept absent from all political matters of the state. Worldwide political, social and religious actors should understand and value the fact that peacekeeping, justice, liberty and equal human rights is the main focus of politics today and not the expansion of religion (Davis 28).

All the cultures of the world do not each have their own country, therefore one could understand that there would almost certainly be conflict between them, and probably more often than not. According to B.A. Robinson, an author for a popular website where the focus is placed on religious persecution and related issues, the causes of persecution or conflicts are usually because of racial, ethnical, religious, economic and also other differences. Conflicts and religious intolerance occurs among people within the same or in different countries and of similar or dissimilar religions ( 4). Robinson states that other occurrences of persecution and conflict are currently evident in Bosnia, where the Roman Catholics, Serbian Orthodox Church and the Muslims have conflict among one another. In India, Aboriginals, Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, and other minority faiths are in conflict with each other. In Indonesia, Christians and Muslims clas
