On February 5, Algeria's Channel 3 aired a program on the spread of Christianity in the Kabylia region.
Kabylia is a Berber region east of the capital Algiers.
According to the program, which included interviews with converts to Christianity, some 20 Protestant churches were recently established in the region.
In response, Algerian Religious Affairs Minisgter Bouabdellah Ghlamallah stated that if no preventive measures were taken, there would soon be a Christian minority that would clash with society and demand its rights.
