The Dissolution of the Monasteries, sometimes referred to as the Suppression of the Monasteries, was the set of administrative and legal processes between 1536 and 1541 by which Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England, Wales and Ireland, appropriated their income, disposed of their assets, and provided for their former members and functions. He was given the authority to do this in England and Wales by the Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, which made him Supreme Head of the Church in England, thus separating England from Papal authority, and by the First Suppression Act (1536) and the Second Suppression Act (1539).

I've highlighted the step that's missing from the treatment of Christians in Islamic countries. HTH.

She was jailed and sentenced to death for refusing to renounce her Christianity. Wouldn't it have been much easier if she'd just said "I renounce my Christianity"? I think that's what I would have done.

I would say we should bomb these countries back to the stone ages...

but with these laws it looks like that would be progress...

Great news!

You think taking a 13 year old up Everest is good news?

with proper support I think its excellent news, someone most of India consider below dogs has done something 0.000000000000000000001% of the population of the world has done.

Its like the class spotty geek copping off with Elle McPherson!

Well she still hasn't been released.

Seems to have dropped out the news though.

I did read the other day that she'd finally had her shackles removed but was still banged up.

The Sudanese government were still indicating that she was going to be freed.
