European Christians faced 2,444 discriminatory incidents in 2024

Observatory on Intolerance Against Christians in Europe released a study this month entitled, “Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe Report 2024.”

Christians faced 2,444 discriminatory incidents last year across 35 European countries. Those included 232 personal attacks like harassment and physical violence.

The number of incidents is up from 1,029 in 2022. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom were hotbeds for discrimination.  

The report noted, “A number of restrictions on religious freedom affecting Christians in Europe have been identified, concerning public prayer, religious manifestations, public expression of religious beliefs, religious autonomy, parental rights, and conscientious objection to military service and certain medical procedures.”

2 Timothy 3:12-13 says, “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

Alliance Defending Freedom President Kristen Waggoner said, “The government cannot force Americans to say things they do not believe, and Colorado officials have paid and will continue to pay a high price when they violate this foundational freedom.”

Johnson won’t let Congressman pretending to be woman in women’s restrooms

Congressional Republicans are standing against transgenderism.

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a new policy Wednesday, banning men, pretending to be women, from using women’s bathrooms. The rule applies to the House section of the Capitol building.

Listen to Johnson’s comments to reporters.

JOHNSON: “A man is a man, and a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman. That's what Scripture teaches.

“But I also believe that we treat everybody with dignity. So, we can do and believe all those thi
