LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Parishioners said they are waiting to see if hostilities will escalate into violence during what remains of the Holy Month Ramadan. Religious persecution during this period has been known to increase in Muslim-majority areas. Ramadan, an Islamic month of daytime fasting, ends in Turkey on July 28.
The attacks have prevented some congregants from attending religious services. A group of young men under the cover of darkness destroyed audio equipment, stole other items and set a fire in the building in May. Muslim intruders pushed their way into the baptismal service on July 15 to yell obscenities, with one waving a knife and threatening to stab a parishioner.
Help end world hunger -- by going here --
