The number of people enslaved by Muslims has been a hotly debated topic, especially when the millions of Africans forced from their homelands are considered.
Some historians estimate that between A.D. 650 and 1900, 10 to 20 million people were enslaved by Arab slave traders. Others believe over 20 million enslaved Africans alone had been delivered through the trans-Sahara route alone to the Islamic world.
Dr. John Alembellah Azumah in his 2001 book, The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa estimates that over 80 million Black people more died en route.

Hindu extremists assaulted and tortured 29 Indian Christians for refusing to give up their faith and convert to Hinduism.
Radical Hindus attempted to force Christians to renounce their faith, reports Open Doors. When the believers refused, the Hindu extremist began to beat the men, women and children.
The group was forced to flee their community and received threats that if they came back they would be killed.
“This is just one of an increasing number of stories of persecution coming out of India,” Open Doors said in a statement. Hindu extremists have been attacking Christians more frequently and more violently. This is happening across India and has increased by 34 percent since 2013.

Mosab Hassan Yousef – the “Green Prince” – who worked as an Israeli spy, said “the Jewish nation is dear to me and when I see nations fighting against the Jewish people it hurts me.”
Speaking at The Jerusalem Post’s annual conference in New York on Sunday, Yousef noted that at one point he was working for and being paid by Israel, the US, the PA and Hamas, all at the same time.
Yousef, the son of West Bank Hamas leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef, helped the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) thwart attacks from 1997 to 2007. He later went on to write an autobiography published in 2010 titled Son of Hamas.
He converted to Christianity and fled to the US where he was granted political asylum.

Hillsong Senior Pastor Brian C. Houston had responded to reports that his megachurch’s youth pastor went on stage dressed up as the “Naked Cowboy” during last month’s Colour Conference in New York City. He wasn’t naked but still it “won’t happen again,” he said.
“Bobbie – my wife – who was convener of the conference was clearly unaware that this was going to happen and was taken back by it,” Houston wrote on his blog Friday, referring to the conference held May 6 and 7, where a Hillsong youth pastor imitated Times Square’s street performer “Naked Cowboy,” or Robert John Burck, who wears only cowboy boots, a hat and briefs, with a guitar placed strategically to give the illusion of nudity.
ChurchWatch Central, a website that says it monitors “various sects and movements that claim to be Christian,” posted a video of the NYC event and criticized Houston and his church, which has locations in Sydney and other cities in Australia and also in London, Cape Town, Kiev, Germany, Paris, Moscow, Stockholm, New York City and Copenhagen.

Churches across the country are participating in an annual 30 days of prayer for the Muslim world.
It begins today, coinciding with Ramadan, an important month of fasting and religious observance for Muslims.
The 30 days of prayer for the Muslim world is an international movement that began in 1993. Christians worldwide are called to make an intentional and respectful effort during that period to learn about, pray for and reach out to Muslim neighbors.
Dear friends & family in Christ,
Daniel Nalliah stated today, “I watched Donald Trump’s speech twice and I must state that it’s one of the best speeches I have heard in my lifetime.
I fully agree with almost everything he said and hope he is elected as President of USA and not Hilary Clinton.
Yes, it is true that some very good candidates contested the republican party race for nomination to run for presidency.

“Islam wants to put you behind a veil of horror. With true Christianity, women are treated with dignity and respect. Jesus Christ elevated women, and if you put your faith and trust in Him, He will never let you down.”
Franklin Graham has warned “women of the world” that Islam wants to put them behind a “veil of horror” after the leader of a Pakistani Islamic council proposed a bill that allows husbands to “lightly beat” their wives as a form of discipline.
Last week, Mohammad Khan Sheerani released a 75-page proposal suggesting that a light beating with a stick is acceptable should the need arise to punish a woman.

Christian author and speaker Joyce Meyer says she’s seen a good deal of compromise and giving into the ways of the world going on at church, and warns believers that society often blurs the lines between right and wrong.
“There is a ton of compromise in the church today. We can’t just be like the world, and be an example to the world,” Meyer said in a sermon to her congregation in St. Louis online on Monday.
“The lines are getting really blurred out there about what is even right, and what’s wrong,” she added.
Meyer explained that God calls people to be happy and holy, which she said are not mutually exclusive conditions, but warned Christians that they need to be careful about the situations and people they engage with.

“Babul Aktar is an efficient police officer and played a key role in apprehending Islamists. They might have killed his wife because they failed to get him.” Will the Islamophobia never end?
DHAKA — The wife of a senior Bangladeshi police official known for battling Islamist militants was stabbed and shot to death on Sunday, and machete-wielding assailants killed a Christian grocer in a separate incident.
Both attacks appeared to be the work of Islamist militants who have killed at least 30 people, including religious minorities, liberal bloggers and academics, since February last year, police said.
Three assailants riding a motorcycle stabbed and then shot Mahmuda Aktar, 33, while she was on her way to put her son onto a school bus near her home in the southeastern port city of Chittagong, police said.

“In Alice Springs we harvested fruit that we did not sow. Particularly among the indigenous people, Dr. Bell and other missionaries planted the seeds of faith in Jesus Christ decades ago, and we were able to see the result last weekend.”
Evangelist Will Graham returned to Australia last week – a continent on which he’s preached biannually since 2010 – to share the hope of Jesus in the arid Outback.

Alice Springs is located in the approximate center of the continent, nearly equidistant between Darwin on the northern coast of Australia and Adelaide on the southern coast.
In this remote town of 28,605, nearly 6,000 people attended the weekend event.
“Some of you have a broken life and God doesn’t use band aids. God wants to completely change you,” said Graham from the podium. “Salvation is a Person and His name is Jesus. Jesus can change everything in life. He can change your life tonight!”

“I really didn’t know that after coming to Germany I would be harassed because of my faith in the very same way as back in Iran.” Welcome to the brave new multicultural Germany.
“Growing concern for German churches: Muslim refugees harassing Christians,” by Tom Heneghan, Deseret News, June 3, 2016:
Germany’s refugee crisis is challenging the country’s main religious groups as they try to balance a welcoming attitude to the mostly Muslim migrants and concern for the welfare of the minority Christians among them.
Increasingly, accounts of Muslim migrants ganging up on Christians and other minorities in refugee shelters have raised concerns.
