The body of 67-year old Pastor Prem Kumar, a 67-year-old preacher from the Church of South India, was found Thursday, June 8th in a forest in the Nizamabad district of Andhra Pradesh state. Pastor Kumar was contacted by a young man requesting that Kumar lead a prayer service in the village of Rampur Thanda. Pastor Kumar was attacked with stones and boulders and his head was crushed beyond recognition.
From Christian Solidarity Worldwide:
Pastor Kumar is the fourth church leader to have been murdered in Andhra Pradesh state in just over a year. The May 2005 murders of Pastor K. Daniel, who was found brutally mutilated in Hyderabad after his attackers poured acid on him, and Pastor Isaac Raju, who was wrapped in a jute bag and dumped behind bushes in the Golconda area outside the city, took place under similar circumstances. Both men were lured to a remote location in a similar manner to Pastor Kumar.
The men arrested for the murders publicly admitted their opposition to the alleged conversion activities of the two pastors.

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world therefore the world hates you.”

I bet those crazy Quakers done him in! Maybe Methodists?

I've lost track of how Islamic India is? Is India becoming a Muslim strong hold also? I thought Pakistan originally broke away from India in order to be an Islamic country.
He wasn't killed by Muslims, but by militant Hindus. Most persecution in India comes from Hindu organizations. Muslims are not the only persecutors in the world.
Actually, Chrys, it is Hindus who are conducting the persecutions. Hindu persecution of Christians is not common in most areas of India, but is a frequent occurrence in a few states, such as Andhra Pradesh.

My wife & I are friends with a few Muslims nearby. They are certainly not responsible for 100% of the terrorism/slaughter. BUT, ten years ago, they could point to N. Ireland S. America, as problems of equal significance. Not today.
It is a sad fact, but a fact nonetheless, that non-Muslim terrorism is a tiny percent of the total.
Nother personal against the individual Moslem, just the percentages. ALSO, statistically, I worry more about being killed by a drunk driver than a terrorist.
