Open Doors has developed a classification of countries by persecution based on their field experiences, because I needed some standard to compare the situation of the Christian Church in several countries. For example: how to compare the persecution in China with Saudi Arabia? This pattern had to be as objective as possible. And the rating made it possible to distinguish situations and outline priorities for actions and projects. This is the fundamental value of the survey: a way to determine where the need is most urgent.
The work is renewed every year by the research department of Open Doors International and aims to support the actions undertaken in the field. Although the methods used in the preparation of the Classification try to be as reliable as possible, the list is not meant to be seen as an academic in the strict sense. Thus, Open Doors recommends users take over the rating as an element of mobilization and awareness than as an academic report.
As the classification is formed
Arriving in a country, Open Doors seeks local Christians and ask them how you can help them. In 95% of cases, these Christians ask for prayer. The second request is always for Bibles, study materials and training.
Open Doors selects countries that will help with the following criteria:
• The local church can become extinct if no foreign aid
• Obtaining Bibles is not possible for the official media
• There is a potential logistics (transport conditions, storage and distribution of materials)
• The country is strategically located and has received the request of local brothers
The Open Door does not operate in 90 countries surveyed. Nor are they necessarily developed projects in 50 countries on the list, but among the 90 countries, about 50 field projects have been developed by the Open Doors.
Currently, research is conducted through some contacts, but Open Doors is in the process of obtaining the support of an external body to endorse the list. The rating today is the result of a specific questionnaire, developed with standardized questions about:
• The legal status of Christians in the country
• The attitude of the political regime in relation to the Christian community
• The freedom of the Church to organize events
• The Church's role in society
• The treatment of Christians individually
• Other factors limiting the life of churches and Christians.
The answers to these questions provide a good glimpse of the lack of freedom of religious choice and practice of faith. There are 49 such questions to be answered. They are multiple choice questions and each answer is assigned a points assessment.
The more points a country gets, the worse the situation. Thus, Open Doors has solved the problem of comparing countries with each other and put together a list with more objectivity. With an international network of informants, the organization publishes an updated list every year.
Data are collected through some contacts:
• Local churches in countries where there is persecution, the most important source of information
• The design basis, which report on the countries where they work
• Experts in various fields of knowledge in these countries
• Travelers who are invited to collaborate with their views on the current situation of the country
• Staff of Open Doors, which take the quiz on his travels and ask several contacts that meet.
The procedure is performed since 1993. From January 2003 to Classificaçãode World Watch List is updated once a year.

They killed four Christians on the road, burned alive several Indian pastors, a leader of an orphanage was burnt alive and the children scrambled for Relief. Several houses were destroyed by fire pastors, a Christian colony was bombed.
Many Christians fled to the woods out to save their lives, especially church leaders. Some of these leaders have been found. However, until now many are still without giving news. A missionary couple was kidnapped, tortured in various ways. They attacked many Christian schools and broke them, beat all who were there.
In another city, some 1,500 Christians have fled the villages and the forests were made and some dead.

Church in India burned car with goods of Christians burned
Lately it has greatly increased the hatred of our Divine Savior. In many nations, just someone to tell Christian to be subject to a cruel persecution.
The organization Renew America published in January, on its website, a report entitled The silent holocaust of Christian martyrs - a warning of what is to come '. For readers who feel the seriousness of the problem, and also to pray with the intention of these martyrs in order that they persist in fidelity to the faith, here are some excerpts.
Bibles burned by pursuers critãos
"There's a silent holocaust of Christian martyrs throughout the world. As he reported, sometimes individual facts of murder and mutilation, the general pattern of violence is ignored by the media, the United Nations and most governments. The authors of the atrocities essentially belong to two groups: the Islamic fundamentalist governments and controlled by the communists.

Burning of several churches in Malaysia, shooting deaths of Christians, after the cult midnight, they left the church, police raids in Saudi Arabia against private prayer groups. All attacks had the same result: death and destruction.

In Saudi Arabia, no Christian church is allowed. The country's religious police are always on the alert regarding the activities non-Muslim groups, including private prayer, Bible readings.
In Egypt, killing the seven Christians killed, rapes, kidnappings, forced conversions to Islam.

Muslim Persecution of Christians are documented in Nigeria and Indonesia. Relentless attacks against Christians took 400,000 to 500,000 Iraqi Christians to flee the country, and many others are internal refugees, displaced citizens in their own nation, afraid to return to their homes.

Hindu fanatics have also caused severe and permanent suffering of Christians in India, attacking the clergy, religious believers and churches.
This is unusual only in history books, as we see the struggles of men in the Colosseum with lions. This is still true today!
It is common to think that modern Christianity is something permeated facilities, making the target of much criticism for opposing beliefs (perhaps rightly so, in some cases). Use of good rhetoric to criticize the mistakes of this belief may be something in a healthy debate, but to what extent should we ignore the many persecutions that took place in the world? In Brazil, for example, if implode Christianity by crooks disguised as religious leaders, as a way to easy manipulation of the masses but, in places, where what remains is only the simple and profound belief in the Savior?
Christianity may have become one of the predominant religions of the world, but there are still many places where Christians are persecuted, robbed, tortured and even killed for their faith. Often this occurs as part of government policy or religious. Western media often distort and miniminizam information about these incidents, fear of offending cultural sensitivities. As a result, most of these stories can only be obtained in full publications and secular human rights groups monitoring religious.
Below is a list of 10 most dangerous countries for Christians, as classified by the Open Doors World Watch List.
10. Laos
Population: 6.4 million, 200,000 Christians
Religion: Buddhism
Government type: Communist
The local government's attitude toward Christians is openly hostile. Authorities in Laos, along with many high society, see as a major threat to the communist regime, especially the so-called American Protestants as a threat. Christian churches can not operate freely, and Christians are confined to their family and community roles. Many are unable to withstand the extreme physical and emotional pressure, and end up abandoning their faith.
Case in point: in 2010, 29 Christians were killed and at least 20 were arrested and imprisoned without trial, while several churches were destroyed. In January of that year, 11 Christian families in Saravan province of the country, were expelled from their villages, thrown into the woods, after refusing to recant their faith.
9. Uzbekistan
Population: 27.5 million, 208,600 Christians
Religion: Islamic
Government type: Republican
Pressure on local Christians increased last year. The number of attacks on churches intensified, and fines for illegal religious activities now exceed 100 times the minimum monthly wage. Convictions of short-term (3-15 days) are often applied as punishment for Christian religious activities, and 27 years, Baptist missionary Tohar Haydarov was sentenced to ten years in prison on trumped up charges (likely) drug. The appeal is being prepared for their release.
Many churches have lost their registration and some of its buildings in 2010 as well. New converts also suffer loss of employment, beatings, social rejection and often the expulsion of the family home.
8. Iraq
Population: 30.7 million, 334,000 Christians
predominant religion: Islamic
Government type: parliamentary democracy
Do not be fooled by all the American soldiers on the spot: violence against Christians in Iraq is on the rise, with large numbers of dead and wounded. Of the murders, there is the Christians in Mosul, persecuted during the election of March 2010, leading many Christians to flee their villages and settle in the plains of Nineveh. Fears of a "Christian ghetto" born that day in Baghdad. Pope Benedict XVI has called for the safety of Iraqi Christians during this time.
Attacks on churches and Christian institutions have also increased in the second half of 2010, and at least 58 Christians were killed in a bomb attack on a Baghdad church during an evening Mass, in October of that year.
7. Yemen
Population: 23.6 million, very few Christians
predominant religion: Islamic;
Type of government: Republic
The Yemeni official religion is Islam and Sharia law ismâmica is the source of all legal matters. Foreigners have limited religious freedom, and the evangelization of any kind is strictly prohibited. Case in point: Many foreign workers were deported in 2010 by esplanar curious about Christianity with Muslims when questioned about it.
Moreover, the Yemenis are not allowed to leave Islam, and those who convert to Christianity face persecution from family members, authorities and extremist groups. Worse, recent terrorist and separatist movements in Yemen are a very unstable place. A member of Christian Aid, Johannes Hentschel, his wife Sabine and their children Lydia, Anna and Simon, along with British engineer married Anthony Saunders were among nine foreigners kidnapped in Yemen, in north-western province of Saada.
Last year, Anna and Lydia (3 and 5 years respectively) were rescued by security forces in neighboring Saudi Arabia. But the Saudis have also found the bodies of three kidnapped Christians, the German students of the Bible: Rita Stumpp, Anita Gruenwald, and South Korean teacher, Eom Young Sun German and British forces have since interrromperam your searches behind other hostages.
6. Maldive Islands
Population: 311,000, very few Christians
Major religion: Islam
Type of government: Republic
Every citizen born on this island is taken by a Muslim, and Sharia law is the only known, as no other recognized religion outside of Islam. Churches are strictly vetted, and dissemination of Christian literature minimal totally banned in the country.
In 2010, after discovering Bibles in the hands of tourists, the government regulates a number of prohibitive regulations against religious practices alien to those practiced in the region. The few local believers were isolated from other citizens, and are monitored by federal forces, religious authorities and even local staff.
5. Somalia
Population: 9.1 million, very few Christians.
predominant religion: Islamic
Government type: kindly described as "in transition"
Somalia is a "country" without a central government since 1991, and is not a dangerous place for Christians only, but for those, that have to be doubly dangerous.
It was noted that 50 Christians were murdered in 2009 by Islamist insurgents of al-Shabaab (killing more than eight in 2010). It is thought that these numbers are less than one fourth of reality, since these believers are kept isolated in camps. The few that remanscentes Christian faith practice their faith secretly, since there is a practice to implement them before their children, as happened with Osman Abdullah Fataho, newly converted to Christianity.
Al-Shabaab has taken control of southern Somalia, and has applied the scourge Christian as positive propaganda in their attempt to control government. Anyway, recent indicators suggest that this group has been losing popular support.
4. Saudi Arabia
Population: 25.7 million, 565.400 Christians
Religion: Islamic
Government Type: Monarchy
Although the numbers show something - apparently - yes, there is no religious freedom in the Arab kingdom. Non-Islamic public demonstrations are strictly prohibited, and apologies to Christianity - regarded as apostasy - is punishable by death. Many foreign Christians are monitored in their jobs, having watched allowed to worship their God, but narrowly, and not with little difficulty.
A recent example, October 2010, when 20 was a priest and Christian Filipinos were arrested when they were a family worship. Were formally charged with "blaspheming Islam" and cordially banned from the country (silent deportation is the latest tactic of the religious policy - thus avoiding the fanfare of the media world, when there are arrests and convictions martial).
The fact is that Saudi Christians fear for their families, and therefore avoid exposing their faith openly, since they tell stories about the existence of physical attacks applied on behalf of the Christian faith in 2010.
3. Afghanistan
Population: 28.1 million, very few Christians.
Major religion: Islam
Government type: Islamic republic
Be openly Christian in Afghanistan is under pressure to live with family, society and government officials. It is common for local believers have pruned their careers, and never let religious meetings are publicly known. Recently, Deputy Secretary of Parliament suggested the execution of Christian converts, after seeing the baptism of Christians in a television Afghan Afghani (correction: The only station Afghanistan).
The result of this statement was that many Christians went into hiding and, in August 2010, the Taliban shot and killed ten members of a Christian medical team that provided eye care and other health professionals in remote villages in northern Afghanistan.
2. Iran
Population: 74.2 million, 450,000 Christians
Major religion: Islam
Government Type: Islamic Republic
There was a marked increase of Christians arrested in Iran in 2010. Although some were later released, the pressure on the Christian church is still very high. Many of the nearly half a million converts are of Muslim origin, and live in fear of reprisals by the government.
The scheme still shows signs of danger, since he lost a great deal of credibility after the upheaval of the 2009 elections and subsequent demonstrations. In a transparent effort to divert attention from the ongoing protests, the Iranian government simply attacked the Christian portion, with open animosity.
1. North Korea
Population: 20 million, 400,000 Christians
Religion: atheism
Type of scheme: Dynasty Communist dictatorship
Ironically, the most dangerous country for a Christian is where you do not believe in the existence of God. It uses an "energy" gigantic, by the government in suppressing the belief in something that supposedly does not exist.
There is knowledge equivalent to the persecution inflicted North Korean Christians, considered by local government as one of the worst crimes possible. The North Korean Communist dogma considers the maxim quoted by Marx "Religion is the opium of the people," unless, of course, that religion is the cult of personality "Great Leader" Kim Il Sungou, and his son, " Dear Leader "Kim Jong Il.
North Korean Christians, for obvious reasons, they hide their faith all the time, and do not pass their faith to their children until they are old enough to understand the dangers (and making sure they do not make one). To be executed or deported to a Gulag (labor camp), simply being possessed of a Bible.
In 2010, hundreds of Christians were arrested, some were executed in public, others sentenced to the Gulag. Ironically, despite the risks, the growing Christian belief: it is estimated that 400,000 believers cultuem Christ, secretly, in the underground ruins of abandoned buildings.
