The Muslim persecution of Christians in September started making prominent appearances not just in the Islamic world, but also in the West--in America, Australia and Europe. In the United States, in Columbus, Indiana, three churches were vandalized on the same night. The words most frequently sprayed were "Infidels!" and "Koran 3:151."

In Denmark--2013's "happiest country in the world"--Christians of Middle Eastern backgrounds continued to experience "harassment, verbal attacks and in some cases direct violence from Muslims," reports TV2, especially in Muslim-majority areas, such as N
