Religious Persecution in Moldova

From Tisporas Times

"Four priests and a nun have been expelled from Moldova in the country's latest crackdown against religious freedom. The leader of the Bessarabian Orthodox Metropolitanate lodged a protest with the Council of Europe. He said that secret police intimidated priests to get them to renounce their faith and switch churches."

"Religious freedom is increasingly under threat in Moldova, led by strongman Vladimir Voronin who last year publicly declared that Jesus Christ was a Communist. Moldova has arbitrarily denied registration, and hence legal status, to religious communities the authorities dislike. Without legal status, religious communities cannot carry out a wide range of peaceful religious activities. This has led to two large fines being imposed on the country by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg."

We are lucky that we have our freedoms....others such as these people don't. Everyday their is someone complaining about America, and how bad we are, while enjoying our freedom doing it. I say to those people....take a hike and don't come back...maybe move to Moldova and tell me how bad America is then...wait..you'd fit it just nicely.
In Transdniestria they heart Ron Paul....poor misguided souls..
