In India, Hindu extremists are paying people to bounty-hunt Christians. Excerpt:
Extremist Hindu groups offered money, food and alcohol to mobs to kill Christians and destroy their homes, according to Christian aid workers in the eastern state of Orissa.The allegations follow the British Government's refusal to prevent members of two radical groups linked to the worst antiChristian violence in India since Partition entering Britain.
The US-based head of a Christian organisation that runs several orphanages in Orissa - one of India's poorest regions - claims that Christian leaders are being targeted by Hindu militants and carry a price on their heads. "The going price to kill a pastor is $250 (£170)," Faiz Rahman, the chairman of Good News India, said.
A spokesman for the All-India Christian Council said: "People are being offered rewards to kill, and to destroy churches and Christian properties. They are being offered foreign liquor, chicken, mutton and weapons. They are given petrol and kerosene."

UPDATE: On second thought, these Indian Christians probably oppose same-sex marriage, and are therefore nothing but bigots who have no claim on our compassion. Never mind. They brought this on themselves.

Let me guess JPL et al. You didn't get enough love at home? Where's all this tolerance and diverrrrrrrrrrsity we're always hearing about? You have morals that would shame a baboon, and being called a bigot by a bigot like you is a compliment. State religion is the USA?! That's funnier than Richard Pryor.
A of D is a semi-literate Muslim who's only experienced using toilet paper in the last year or so OR he's a 54 year old bachelor who still lives with his parents. Perhaps his antipathy towards Christians is because he was never molested by a man of the cloth and that scarred him for the rest of his life or when his father was outed as a drag queen they were kicked out of the local Baptist Church. People like him are the best advert to embrace pre-Vatican II Roman Catholicism.
From the term "DOWN WITH Yahweh JEALOUS GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT" my money is on `Gods Enemy` being another Muslim who's never used toilet paper. I think Allah could help you protest an Israeli tank before you take a trip to India... think of the porno paradise `Gods Enemy`!
Boy, $250 and ridding the world of hate and confusion or sitting at home being furious... I'm on that plane!
by the way, i would pay $250 to do it
DON'T SEEM TO SEE ANYONE OF'EM.
IT'S FAKE NEWS.
IT'S HOAX.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO POST SUCH RACIALLY VIOLENT NEWS.
YOU'RE SO RACIST.
