Government Shutdown Impacts Religions

http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-social-justice-leaders-unhappy-with-congress-as-government-shutdown-looms-105619/
Religions ranging from Jews to Muslims to Christians in America are starting to feel enraged by the government shutdown. They are feeling targeted by the government due to it's overuse of it's own title and stating how it can do anything it wants to protect their own selves without regard for the impacts it will have on the American people. "The Bible sees the role of government to protect from evil and promote the good, especially helping and protecting the poorest and most vulnerable people. To protect the common good and the most vulnerable is being denied as the role of government by those who are so eager to push for the brinkmanship of one government crisis and confrontation after another" says one of the CEO's of the government. Shutting down the government makes these people feel as if their beliefs are being abandoned in this country of freedom.

Muslim persecution of Christians (Article and Response)

Response:
I have to say that I am absolutely disgusted, not by the fact that the Muslims hate the Christian beliefs since that is simply their culture and that they wish to focus on their original religion of their region, but by just how horrendous these people harm and treat the Christians for their practice. These people are killing, raping, and even burning down churches in honor of their own beliefs, which I believe to be inhumane since the killing of man should never be justified by any belief or religion. Religious persecutions are all varied depending on the culture or regions where it is present, such as how in Somalia they are killing Christians in public for their own beliefs yet America has a church like Westboro Baptist which persecutes other churches for their supports and such by protesting and even going as far as invading funerals to protest their harsh beliefs that only proceed to hurt people for their own beliefs.
