At the end of November five Muslim security employees beat two refugees from Iran for having a bible in their room.

The German evangelical pastor Gottfried Martens described several different examples of Christian refugees being attacked by Muslim security personal and pointed to their belief in god and possession of the bible as the flashpoints for these attacks.
Pastor Gottfried Martens said: “In German refugee camps we have a situation like in Iran. The people are here because of their beliefs and now they live in fear“.
