As Christians around the world celebrate the Christmas holiday, Bangladeshi Christians cannot celebrate the holiday with the same level of joy as the people in the Americas and Europe can. This is because they are systematically oppressed, dispossessed, robbed of their lands, murdered, raped and face every other type of atrocity imaginable in their native country merely for believing in the miracles of Jesus Christ, son of God.

Take the plight of the Christian Khasi people, a tribal ethnic group in Bangladesh who is systematically robbed of their lands. Due to repeated conflicts with the Bangladeshi government, 25 Khasi villages have now been wiped off the map. Other Khasi villages are in danger of disappearing due to the fact that various tea plantations want to dispossess them of their ancestral tribal lands. This is pure greed on the part of Muslim plantation owners, who feel that they can abuse the Khasi people just because they aren’t Muslim.

As Father Anthony Sen explained, “They have all of this pressure from the powerful people living around them especially the Muslims. They think that as they are a minority people, they can do what they like with them. They even think that they can kidnap their young girls or attack the people. So, they always have this kind of pressure.” Christian human rights activists who try to help the Khasi people receive death threats from Islamist groups and the Bangladeshi government does nothing to protect both the Khasi and their defenders from such violations of basic human rights.

Christians presently make up 0.5% of the Bangladeshi population but it is a huge question mark whether this minority will continue to live in their ancestral homeland in the years to come due to the systematic oppression that they face from the Bangladeshi government and Islamist groups. For example, the local police in Bangladesh raided the home of a local Christian widow and stole her money. When the local Christian community tried to defend the widow, there was a violent confrontation, which resulted in the injury of 20 people. More than 100 Christian villagers were later on charged with interfering with police work.
In another incident this year, Haji Ishak Miyan was given land to be developed by three Christian women. Miyan decided to take the land without paying these women for developing it. To make matters worse, he threatened to shoot these three Christian ladies like birds with the help of the local Awami League. As Christians, these three ladies have nowhere to turn to. While the Bangladeshi Constitution grants Christians the same rights as Muslims, in practice, Christians in my country are oppressed on a daily basis.


Indeed, the present atmosphere in Bangladesh is not only anti-Christian but also anti-Hindu, anti-Buddhist and anti-opposition. Whenever the minorities try to rise up and to improve their plight, their situation only gets worse. For example, Mithun Chowdhury, an outspoken proponent of minority rights who heads the Bangladesh Janata Party, was imprisoned for trying to change things for the better for Bangladeshi minorities. With his arrest, the Bangladeshi government destroyed the political voice of the Christians, Buddhists and Hindus within my country. Due to such atrocities, increasingly, Christian leaders in Bangladesh are leaving my country because they see no hope for the future.

Therefore, as the head of the Hindu Struggle Committee, it is my wish this holiday season that the Christians within my country will be able to one day light up their Christmas trees and to enjoy their holiday with the same level of joy as the Christians in the Americas and in Europe do. I am working together with Aslam Chowdhury, Mithun Chowdhury and Farouk Chowdhury in order to ensure that the Christians, Hindus and Buddhists will live better lives under a new government that we are presently working on forming. I hope that the Sheikh Hasina government will be no more so that the oppression, dispossession, rape, theft and murder of Bangladeshi Christians and all other minorities within my country will come to an end, sooner rather than later.

May the Good lord help the Christian brethren facing persecution all over the world.

We didn't ask for equal right in their Islamic countries the way they are requesting for equal right in our country, the only think we are asking for is that they should let us live without been oppress

If Islam is truly a Religion of Peace. . .

Shouldn't the Islamic extremists be extremely peaceful?

O ga ooooo

Nobody throw stones at a fruitless tree.

The Church of Jesus is going through all these because She is the solution to the world's crises in this End-Time.
Satan knows that and provoked people like FREEZE to put more pressure on Her.

Still, the Word is True and Lasting: UPON THIS ROCK, I'LL BUILD MY CHURCH AND THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL.

May God, that is if he exists, help our fellow human suffering persecution in every nooks and crannies of the world, whether in Bangladesh, Myanmar, Palestinian, Yemen etc. But I think we all know the bitter truth. He ain't gonna do sh*t about it! He did nothing when Jews were being persecuted by Hitler. He did nothing when Christian crusaders were engaging in blood birth in the name of religion. He did nothing when Boko Haram was busy maiming Nigerians in the name of Allah.

The best thing for them is just to get proactive and stop being the victim of the oppressors cos no sky daddy is coming for them.

I don't think u have sense

Ok

Islam is Evil. Pure evil masquerading as religion.

I remember a scholar was once asked when there would b peace in the world, he said there can only n peace if we no longer have Muslim's here meaning so far Muslim's are still here it can't be a peaceful world. come to think about it, how can there be peace when killing, rape, hate your neighbor are things found in there holy book

Na today? This has been happening in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh far too long and nobody cares to notice.

Christians are killed, raped, robbed over very unjust and inhuman reasons.

If Islam was no where to be found. Peo

And the So Called UN are there fighting Trump up and down

God please help the Christians of Bangladesh...save them from d hands of the evil ones.... Open the eyes of the world to see where terror lies....there will be no peace for the wicked!.
My father my father... for any Christian blood shed in Bangladesh for d sake of believing in you.... Let them have no peace for both their people,fellow believers of this Wickedness and their generations

Islamabad: the religion of piss indeed.

Watch and see how they pop out to defend their religion as it is not part of their religion but miscreants who want to tarnish Islam.

whats my own...I am hungry

Nigeria Christians are the most hypocrites people I have known,myself included I will not say beyond this

Same old stories. Islam is a terrorist organization.
