re: #118 Gus 802

Something doesn’t match in that table (well, beyond all the data being bogus).

The number of Christians martyred by Islam is 9 million [David B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, World Christian Trends AD 30-AD 2200, William Carey Library, 2001, p. 230, table 4-10] . A rough estimate by Raphael Moore in History of Asia Minor is that another 50 million died in wars by jihad. So counting the million African Christians killed in the 20th century we have:

60 million Christians

Note that the Trends book is in no way scholarly, it’s just a wacky collection of tables and graphs. Here’s the table 4-10 - as you can see it is pretty “exhaustive”.

books.google.com

No way the authors could have missed the additional “50 million Christians”. And if they did, surely their work is so flawed it cannot be relied upon? But what is a sleight of hand between friends.
