Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world, according to a Christian think-tank.

The Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) says 900,000 Christians have been ‘martyred’ in the last decade, equating to 90,000 a year and one every six minutes.

It contradicts however a US government National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC) report that said up to 97 per cent of terrorism-related deaths are Muslims.

More than around half of all terrorist attacks between 2004 and 2013 meanwhile are believed to have been executed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan – which are home to mostly Muslim populations.

CSGC spokesman Gina Zurlo, speaking to Fox News, said: “Christians are a third of the world’s population; there are 2.4bn Christians in the world and two thirds of those Christians live in areas of war and of conflict and of violence, so I think it’s important to remember that Christianity is not easy in other places of the world like it is in Europe and North America.”

The study claims 30 per cent of Christians died in acts of terrorism and 70 per cent were killed in tribal fights in Africa.
