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.
