Those individuals involved in those incidents are truly fortunate, for any person enduring any form of suffering due to their faith in Jesus Christ, shares in the sufferings of the Messiah. Suffering builds perseverance, perseverance builds character and character builds faith. I'll tell you that even though times may be tough, those individuals are lucky to live under those circumstances for they can clearly see who are real Christians and who are not as opposed to living in a peaceful country where all religions are accepted and you have no idea who's really a Christian and who's just pretending.

these things happen because the world hates Christians. If your question is why does God let bad things happen - it's because of free-will, he has to stand back and allow the consequences of humanities sin to play itself out.

Things like this happen, not because God makes them, but because humans are to blind to see the truth and the right way on their own, God does not stop these things from happening because he gave humans their own free will to do what they want
