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.

hey this is mariah on tiffany's blog!!!!
