The Open Doors Website Petition Page

The Open Doors Ministry; serving persecuted Christians worldwide, are requesting just a moment of your time to sign an online petition. The petition is named Right to Believe: Global petition for religious liberty.

The Open Doors site states:

This year the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, linking 57 countries with majority or significant Muslim populations, will once again introduce the Defamation of Religions Resolution in the United Nations.

It allows governments the power to determine which religious views can and can’t be expressed in their country, and it gives the state the right to punish those who express ‘unacceptable’ religious views as they see fit. So, in effect, it makes persecution legal.It aims to criminalise words or actions deemed to be against a particular religion, especially Islam. It has the effect of providing international legitimacy for national laws that punish blasphemy or otherwise ban criticism of a religion. It is due to be voted on in the UN General Assembly at the end of this year.

Incredibly, many countries have backed this resolution in the past, but some are now changing their minds. This year, there is a real possibility it could be defeated. And you can help. It’s time to draw a line in the sand. Add your signature to Open Doors’ petition and join thousands of others across the world.

Please visit the site for more information and fill out the petition form. It doesn’t matter which country you are located in. If you are a Christian, please play even this small role in The Great Commission; it only takes 2 minutes.

Let’s fight for religious liberty!

If you’re not a Christian, please visit the site and read into the situation. For more information on Christianity, I recommend this article: Questions about Christianity.
