Editing Anti-Minjian sentiment (section)

===The National Reformation===
In the [[Juan Costa]] administration, the Minjian became targets of Religious discrimination due to the [[National Reform Party of Slokais|NRP's]] policy of Catholicism being the national religion. In 1953, the NRP's policy called for "All Minjians to turn away from the ways of the devil and accept Jesus Christ as his lord and savor". Across Slokais, jobs were no longer offered to the Minjian faithful based on laws that banned the public display of Minjian symbols or dress. In addition, Minjian students were forced to attend Religion classes through the Public schools, with all colleges requiring passing marks in 4 years of Religion classes. Popular sentiment was also inflamed by continued claims of "A Great Minjian Conspiracy" and the framing of the Minjians as class and national traitors. In 1958, the Reformed People's Liberation Army declared Minjian's "enemies of the state". No longer was conversion considered an option, but rather the removal of all Minjian temples, and symbols and the punishment of all who gave resistance. Between 1955 and 1965, over 350 Minjian temples were destroyed with new buildings such as churches or hotels being built on top.

Resistance to the government's policies by several armed Minjian groups only led to all-out combat in 1961. The Genugjia Temple, the headquarters of the Minjian People's Liberation Front (MPLF) was one of the last remaining strongholds of defiant resistance, and when a force of 1500 RPLA members attempted to capture the Temple and surrounding convent, the MPLF fought back holding off the paramilitary for several days. However, Juan Costa took personal attention to the temple resistance, instead of simply destroying the Temple, he deployed paratroopers within the compound itself killing the leadership of the MPLF, before capturing the remaining temple Brightness and publicly sentencing them in a widely publicized trial. In reaction, Minjians were subjected to violence by civilians, leading to Minjians becoming a key force in the resistance movement.
