LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Deep within the migrant housing borders, Christians are sneaking around.
Bibles and crucifixes are kept hidden, children are shielded and all services must be held without the rest of the population knowing.
These Christians are hiding in plain sight within Germany's migrant housing limits.
The overwhelming Muslim population has been persecuting all Christian families at the site and have even broken the toys of Christian children.
The ongoing persecution of Christians on German soil has Bundestag member Erika Steinbach and Iranian-born pastor Mahin Mousapour livid.
One Christian refugee shared: "I came to Germany after fleeing my own country in the hope my life would be safer in the face of growing dangers. But in Germany I've been threatened more."
According to Breitbart, Mousapour angrily explained: "Toys of Christian children are being destroyed, Christian asylum seekers are told not only to wash their dishes after eating but also that they must clean the entire kitchen as it would otherwise be 'unclean.'
"Many Muslim asylum seekers call all Christians unclean. Church services are held in secret, bibles and crucifixes have to be hidden."
In fact, even converted Christians no longer living in the housing have been threatened on the streets.
Gatestone Institute reported even security guards will persecute Christian refugees.
One Open Doors report described: "Despite increased reports about this problem by the media, charities, human rights organizations, church leaders and Christian organizations, German authorities and politicians have hardly ever launched an investigation.
"Instead, we believe that incidents are deliberately downplayed and even covered up....Even in police stations, religiously motivated attacks on Christian refugees are not documented as such."
Steinbach believes the best way to battle the recurring incidents of religious persecution are to deport all Muslims who insist on attacking or openly insulting Christian migrants.
Steinbach brought her point up to the European union and asked them to erect refugee camps outside the housing borders where migrants would be forced to "stay until the war is over then go back home.
It is Steinbach's opinion Germany's "misconceived tolerance" is what led to an overly compassionate welcome extended to Muslims.
Mousapour added: "We are here in Germany, in a Christian country! We must not allow others to change that."
