I’ve heard that the number of Christians killed, in various countries, is increasing. I don’t have the means to verify the various news reports from Christian based organisations – but I do think these reports need to have wider coverage in the western media. What’s you view?

For example, I recently read this report: “Islamic extremists controlling part of the Somali capital of Mogadishu this month executed a young Christian they accused of trying to convert a 15-year-old Muslim to Christianity.
 
Members of the Islamic extremist group al Shabaab had taken 23-year-old Mumin Abdikarim Yusuf into custody on Oct. 28 after a 15-year-old boy reported him to the militants … Yusuf’s body was found on Nov. 14.  Before Yusuf was executed by two shots to the head, … there are reports that Yusuf’s body showed signs of torture; all of his front teeth were gone, and some of his fingers were broken. … “

Somali is a  country where the normal government procedures  used to maintain law and order,  have collapsed.

What is the western world’s answer to this type of situation?
