Congressman Riley Moore Delivers Speech at CPAC's Christian Persecution Summit

In Afghanistan, conversion to Christianity alone is punishable by death. Yet persecution doesn't stop at the borders of the Islamic world. It has crossed into what was once the heart of Christendom itself, Europe. In Finland, a sitting member of parliament has been dragged through the courts for years after she posted a single tweet in which she quoted the Bible. Her case is being heard by the Supreme Court of Finland today. In Britain, a woman was arrested twice for silently praying near an abortion clinic. These are not mere anecdotes. (09:09–09:21)
