persection of christian

What does "restricted nations" refer to?nations that r under persection

Where are most restricted nations? in africa

Give me the names of 6 restricted nations and tell me why they are restricted.
1)egypt:The mob falsely concluded a Christian family had "kidnapped" one of their family members who had recently converted from Christianity to Islam. In truth, the girl had left on a three-day trip to Cairo. But the truth didn’t stop the mob from going on a rampage in the village beating and injuring Christians and destroying property.
2)tunisa:Christian literature is not openly distributed and, with so few believers, dissemination is difficult. The government is not favorable to any form of Christian proselytism, but tolerance is shown to foreign minorities. The U.S. State Department estimates the practicing Christian population at approximately 2,000 and says a few hundred native-born citizens have converted to Christianity. A concerted prayer movement for Tunisia in 1999 coincided with significant numbers of people turning to Christ.
3)libya:Libyans are off limits for evangelism. A number of expatriates are seeking to reach Libyans, but they are hindered by the country’s secret police network. Christian literature may enter only through secretive means. There are very few Libyan believers; almost all Christians are foreign workers and the government strictly monitors them. There is a limit of one church per denomination per city. Despite the restrictions, VOM makes the gospel message available in Libya though radio and the Internet.
4)morocco:Any Muslim who comes to Christ can face severe punishment. Moroccan churches consisting of former Muslims are not officially recognized. Neither are marriages between Christians. Other religious groups are tolerated as long as their ministry is confined to expatriate communities. It is still illegal to evangelize. Converts endure ostracism from their families, loss of employment and imprisonment for their faith. At least 20 small groups of Christians are believed to exist throughout Morocco. By law, Bibles may be imported, but Arabic Bibles have been confiscated. In 2006, the government removed Quran and Hadith verses from school textbooks on Islamic education. Photos of girls wearing the hijab (head covering) were also removed. The government said it was taking action in an attempt to prevent the rise of radical Islam among youth. In 2007, the king hosted a conference where scholars discussed ways to promote tolerance between Islam and other religions.
5)sudan:In spite of, or perhaps because of, the persecution in the last 20 years, the church in Sudan has continued to grow. Most expatriate missionaries have left, but behind them they leave national leaders who are committed to evangelism. Life continues to be difficult as the country struggles for stability, but pastors are begging for Bibles and Christian training materials rather than material things.
6)yemen:Yemeni converts from Islam face the death penalty if discovered. Through radio broadcasts, tactful evangelism and other factors, perhaps 100 Yemenis have trusted Christ. Even though the Christian community is small, persecution still exists. Seven Yemeni believers were arrested in 2008 for missionary work. Another believer was imprisoned in his home for several months after his conversion.

the game

a. Your Fate Awaits: gailla picks a fights with romans,
If you're not killed in battle, then don't expect to be shown any mercy, you'll be taken prisoner and marched off to the city of Rome. If you survive the long journey you face an uncertain future.
b. Gochta:
The Roman army has invaded Gallia. The Romans want to make it part of their growing empire, but first they must defeat troublemakers.The Gauls, the people of Gallia, live in many different tribes. Some tribes are happy for the Romans to be their rulers but others fight them.

c.sold: After capture by the army you are passed on to a slave-dealer, who buys and sells slaves. The dealer takes you to a slave market where you stand on a platform for everyone to see.Slaves with diseases are made to hold a sign so that people know there is something wrong
d.oh no:Your new owner has decided you will be sent to a ludus gladiatorius – a school where slaves, criminals and other wretches are trained to fight as gladiators. Once inside, the gates will be locked and there will be no escape. You'll be trained to fight by a lanista or ‘butcher’, an old gladiator whose fighting days are over.
e. Who's who:
In your training you will have learned how to fight as one particular type of gladiator. It has cost your owner a lot of money to buy you, feed, train and equip you for the contest. Now you must be victorious – winning is all that matters. If you lose, you die!
g. Ouch! First you'll fight with wooden swords in a practice duel.
Spectators will gamble on whether you will win your fight …or not.
h. it overs:It seems the crowd showed you no mercy and the retarius was the winner of the contest. While your body is dragged from the arena, the victorious gladiator is presented with his prizes.

Today's Event in History!










August 21, 1959

Hawaii becomes the 50th state!!

The modern United States receives its crowning star when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs a proclamation admitting Hawaii into the Union as the 50th state. The president also issued an order for an American flag featuring 50 stars arranged in staggered rows: five six-star rows and four five-star rows. The new flag became official July 4, 1960.

The first known settlers of the Hawaiian Islands were Polynesian voyagers who arrived sometime in the eighth century. In the early 18th century, American traders came to Hawaii to exploit the islands' sandalwood, which was much valued in China at the time. In the 1830s, the sugar industry was introduced to Hawaii and by the mid 19th century had become well established. American missionaries and planters brought about great changes in Hawaiian political, cultural, economic, and religious life. In 1840, a constitutional monarchy was established, stripping the Hawaiian monarch of much of his authority.

In 1893, a group of American expatriates and sugar planters supported by a division of U.S. Marines deposed Queen Liliuokalani, the last reigning monarch of Hawaii. One year later, the Republic of Hawaii was established as a U.S. protectorate with Hawaiian-born Sanford B. Dole as president. Many in Congress opposed the formal annexation of Hawaii, and it was not until 1898, following the use of the naval base at Pearl Harbor during the Spanish-American War, that Hawaii's strategic importance became evident and formal annexation was approved. Two years later, Hawaii was organized into a formal U.S. territory. During World War II, Hawaii became firmly ensconced in the American national identity following the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

In March 1959, the U.S. government approved statehood for Hawaii, and in June the Hawaiian people voted by a wide majority to accept admittance into the United States. Two months later, Hawaii officially became the 50th state.

Birthday Events

-May 28, 1961

Appeal for Amnesty campaign launches
On this day in 1961, the British newspaper The London Observer publishes British lawyer Peter Benenson's article "The Forgotten Prisoners" on its front page, launching the Appeal for Amnesty 1961--a campaign calling for the release of all people imprisoned in various parts of the world because of the peaceful expression of their beliefs.


Benenson was inspired to write the appeal after reading an article about two Portuguese students who were jailed after raising their glasses in a toast to freedom in a public restaurant. At the time, Portugal was a dictatorship ruled by Antonio de Oliveira Salazar. Outraged, Benenson penned the Observer article making the case for the students' release and urging readers to write letters of protest to the Portuguese government. The article also drew attention to the variety of human rights violations taking place around the world, and coined the term "prisoners of conscience" to describe "any person who is physically restrained (by imprisonment or otherwise) from expressing…any opinion which he honestly holds and does not advocate or condone personal violence."


"The Forgotten Prisoners" was soon reprinted in newspapers across the globe, and Berenson's amnesty campaign received hundreds of offers of support. In July, delegates from Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland met to begin "a permanent international movement in defense of freedom of opinion and religion." The following year, this movement would officially become the human rights organization Amnesty International.


Amnesty International took its mandate from the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which holds that all people have fundamental rights that transcend national, cultural, religious and ideological boundaries. By the 10th anniversary of the Appeal for Amnesty 1961, the organization it spawned numbered over 1,000 voluntary groups in 28 countries, with those figures rising steadily. In 1977, the organization received the Nobel Peace Prize.


Amnesty International owes much of its success in promoting human rights to its impartiality and its focus on individuals rather than political systems. Today, Amnesty International continues to work toward its goals of ensuring prompt and fair trials for all prisoners, ending torture and capital punishment and securing the release of "prisoners of conscience" around the globe

Madison's Birthday!!


On this day in 1957, Althea Gibson claims the women's singles tennis title at Wimbledon and becomes the first African American to win a championship at London's All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.


Gibson was born on August 25, 1927, in Silver, South Carolina, and raised in the Harlem section of New York City. She began playing tennis as a teenager and went on to win the national black women's championship twice. At a time when tennis was largely segregated, four-time U.S. Nationals winner Alice Marble advocated on Gibson's behalf and the 5'11" player was invited to make her U.S. Open debut in 1950. In 1956, Gibson's tennis career took off and she won the singles title at the French Open--the first African American to do so--as well as the doubles' title there. In July 1957, Gibson won Wimbledon, defeating Darlene Hard, 6-3, 6-2. (In 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first African-American man to win the men's singles title at Wimbledon, when he defeated Jimmy Connors.) In September 1957, she won the U.S. Open, and the Associated Press named her Female Athlete of the Year in 1957 and 1958. During the 1950s, Gibson won 56 singles and doubles titles, including 11 major titles.


After winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Open again in 1958, Gibson retired from amateur tennis. In 1960, she toured with the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, playing exhibition tennis matches before their games. In 1964, Gibson joined the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour, the first black woman to do so. The trailblazing athlete played pro golf until 1971, the same year in which she was voted into the National Lawn Tennis Association Hall of Fame.


After serving as New Jersey's commissioner of athletics from 1975 to 1985, Althea Gibson died at age 76 from respiratory failure on September 28, 2003 at a hospital in East Orange, New Jersey
