UPDATE: www.persecution.org/2020/02/24/president-trump-raise-concerns-religious-freedom-india/

Yes! May our POTUS be acutely aware of the direction India is going that really hinders religious freedom there. It would be awesome if he and FLOTUS could visit persecuted Believers there.

The only “religious freedom” Trump is concerned about is whatever will buy him more votes with the fundamentalist Christian base in the US who happily ignore his flagrant disregard for all Christian values as long as he spouts what they want to hear.

Are you all praying he will be given opportunity to present. Or too busy crabbing about him…

That’s exactly what the world has been shouting
Now !
a) he won’t do it
Mainly political reasons such as Hindu community is more than Indian Christians in the US , and at this moment he needs numbers not empathy
b) The Indian diplomacy won’t allow him the liberty to choose where he wants to go After all they know where they lack 🤷🏻‍♂️
They will instead show him what Muslims are doing and what they are upto displaying Shaheen Baug etc.

Donald J. Trump or President Donald J. Trump one of you should go!!

Tump has been told that all the 10 millon people who greeted him today are his vote bank . He Is not aware the most intelecual, and Proffesional Indian Americans are from the southern states of Andhra Tamilnadu,Kerala, and Karnataka .

Trump doesn’t care about religious freedom.

President will take care of us, Christians 💯

I agree, we need to let india know that we are a christian nation.

Exactly! …let him deal with the issue of RSS manace against Christians.

He is a business man not a religious person.

POTUS arrived in India today and he heaped praises on the current PM of nation calling him a great leader not only for India but also for the world. Utterly disappointed that he never mentioned of any persecution or any minorities in his speech, the only public speech in his 36hr visit. India is in the top 10 of world's most persecuted countries. So sad 🙁

wouldn't this be dangerous for the christians after trump left?

I hope he goes to them!

Yes please 🙏🏽

In January 2015, President Barrack Obama made a speech in New Delhi calling on India to uphold the principle of religious freedom. Speaking at a town hall in New Delhi, President Obama said, “India will succeed so long as it is not splintered along the lines of religious faith, as long as it is not splintered along any lines, and it is unified as one nation.”

Hope Trump does his part.

it is good, we are praying for it.

Is guided by RSS there will not be any solution in the Indian sub continents

Arms deals? so be kind…

That orange man couldn’t care less bout Christians . NOW, ask him to visit the Jews of India

No use. President Trump wants the Hindu votes of America. So RSS and Trump are United. Indian Christians , Muslims and the Israelis are the worst affected because RSS wants Trump not to attack Iran so that India can encircle Pakistan. They want to sabotage the peace agreement with Taliban by America. So when America

Sitting in a rickshaw on a bumpy path deep in the jungle of Myanmar, I knew that the interview ahead would be heartbreaking. I was meeting with a widow who lived in an active fighting zone, left with three young children to raise on her own after her husband’s disappearance.

As we entered the Christian shelter where ICC provided for her two sons to stay and receive after-school tutoring, the dimmed light in the room pre-determined the grim nature of our conversation.

In January 2019, Pastor U Tun Nu in Rakhine State was taken from his home at gunpoint by the AA, who reportedly told him that they needed to question him. He was never heard from again. On February 1, his mission organization, Gospel for Asia, confirmed his death. His wife, however, never got to see his body and still hopes for his return.

“I just want to see him again,” Pastor U Tun Nu’s wife suddenly burst into tears, lowering her head in distress. Read more: bit.ly/38Owdm6 … See MoreSee Less
