North Korea, where tens of thousands of Christians are kept in prison camps and tortured, many times to death, remains the No. 1 nation in the world for persecuting believers, according to a new report from Open Doors USA.

WND reported less than two weeks ago that there were reports that four Christians had been executed in North Korea because of their Christian faith. One incident involved a woman and her grandmother who were washing clothes when a New Testament fell out of the woman's clothing. Both she and her grandmother were executed for that offense.

Then we have the Christian faith. The above shows it is OK to attack the Christian faith.

How come no outcry?
