Christians plan to attend services this weekend despite intimidation tactics.
Seven Algerian churches face closure this week after the governor of their province sent them written notice that they were operating “illegally.”
The notice on Sunday (May 22) from Police Chief Ben Salma, citing a May 8 decree from the Bejaia Province governor, also states that all churches “in all parts of the country” will be closed for lack of compliance with registration regulations, but Christian leaders dismissed this assertion as the provincial official does not have nationwide authority.
“All buildings permanently designated for or in the process of being designated for the practice of religious worship other than Muslim will be permanently closed down in all parts of the country, as well as those not having received the conformity authorization from the National Commission,” Salma stated in the notice.

Islam, we are told is a tolerant religion. We are force fed this when taught of the invasion of Egypt, Spain, and Constantinople. Islam tolerant? only when they are in the minority, but when they have the power there is nothing tolerant about them; they are as tolerant as the Roman Church and the anglo-catholics.
