Sindh, four Christians arrested for distributing "religious materials"

Think something like this can never happen in America? 

It already has.  

Fortunately, reason and the law have prevailedin this case.  But for Christians in Muslim countries, there is virtually no hope of freedom of worship or fear from persecution.  We are so fortunate to be living in America but we must not take our freedoms for granite.  There is a global jihad in motion with the goal of dominating all of the world.
