Thirteen out of fourteen of the worst countries for Christian persecution on the Open Doors USA, World Watch List are Islamic countries. While the top persecutor is North Korea, the source of persecution in that country stems from “dictatorial paranoia”: worship of the ruling Kim family is mandated for all. Following North Korea as the biggest persecutor, however, is Somalia.
Islamic terrorist group al-Shabaab’s beheadings and attacks against Christians will continue to rise, with the Somali-based militants having an estimated 9,000 jihadis at their disposal.
Christians “are facing growing persecution around the world, fueled mainly by Islamic extremism and repressive governments.” Warnings of “a form of genocide” and “religio-ethnic cleansing” have been issued, and as Christian suffering expands globally, the West continues to bow in submission to the contrived victimology narrative of “Islamophobia,” while the real victims — peaceful Christians — continue to be slaughtered for their faith.
Western nations have virtually abandoned Christians, who are not only victims of war but are persecuted as well. Western governments are catering almost exclusively to Muslim refugees, many of whom have caused havoc across Europe, enough to cause Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic to close their doors to Muslim asylum seekers to avoid jihad attacks, mass sex assaults against infidels, and lawlessness.
The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord George Carey, has stated bluntly of the UK — and his words apply across the Western world — that “politically correct” officials were “institutionally biased” against Christian refugees, who are not being resettled in the UK at the same rate as Muslim refugees.
As 9,000 jihadists in East Africa prepare to launch gruesome attacks against Christians, the American Center for Law and Justice has desperately urged:
This heinous jihadist army must be stopped. Al-Shabaab’s atrocities against Christians and brutal persecution of churches in Kenya can no longer be ignored or tolerated. We must be heard.
Christian persecution has been ignored and tolerated for far too long.
“Al-Shabaab’s ‘Demented’ Beheadings, Killing of Christians on the Rise; 9,000 Jihadis Ready”, by Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post, September 1, 2017:
Islamic terrorist group al-Shabaab’s beheadings and attacks against Christians will continue to rise, with the Somali-based militants having an estimated 9,000 jihadis at their disposal, a law group monitoring religious persecution warned.
The American Center for Law and Justice listed on Thursday the growing list of barbaric attacks carried out by the terrorist group over the past couple of years, including door-to-door raids in villages in Kenya in July, where the militants hunted down and killed seven Christians.
In August, al-Shabaab militants killed another four Christians in Kenya’s Lamu County, beheading three and burning alive another.
The group is also infamous for the mass slaughter of 148 people at Garissa University in April 2015, when the militants specifically searched for Christian students to kill, separating them from the Muslims.
“This heinous jihadist army must be stopped. Al-Shabaab’s atrocities against Christians and brutal persecution of churches in Kenya can no longer be ignored or tolerated. We must be heard,” ACLJ urged.
“Al-Shabaab’s actions are clearly deadly, demented, disturbing, and disgusting. We must defeat and destroy these Islamic jihadists.”
The law group warned, however, that the Islamic radical group may have an “estimated 9,000 jihadist soldiers and a plethora of outside resources to draw upon,” making their terrorist activities “less and less likely to relent.”
The U.S. military has been carrying out air strikes against al-Shabaab’s bases in Somalia, looking to dismantle its operations, though Kenya has largely been unable to stop the cross-border attacks.
The law group pointed out that it has been warning about the spread of al-Shabaab for years, and echoed its words from 2015:
“[Y]et another radical Islamic jihadist army — just like ISIS, the Islamic State — is ruthlessly murdering Christians, targeting them for their faith. This global and historic persecution continues.”
The East African Centre for Law & Justice, an ACLJ affiliate, noted: “In the past few years, the Somalia-based terrorist group al-Shabaab carried out attacks in the counties of Mombasa, Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Lamu, and Tana River and said it had targeted non-Muslims because of their faith.
“In Lamu County, al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for at least 65 deaths, with some witnesses reporting the terrorists asked the religion of victims, killing non-Muslims.”
The terrorist group, whose name translates to “The Youth,” has been active for over a decade, and has been looking to enforce Sharia law on the regions in Somalia it has gained control of.
Al-Shabaab has specifically been targeting the Church in Kenya, which it accuses of spreading the Christian faith in the region.
The Africa Center for Strategic Studies said in June that al-Shabaab has now become Africa’s deadliest terrorist group, surpassing even Nigeria’s Boko Haram. Data analyzed showed that al-Shabaab killed over 4,000 people in 2016.
Besides its terrorist activities, the Critical Threats monitoring group warned in April that al-Shabaab has also been targeting vulnerable populations in rural Somalia by providing them with humanitarian aid, as part of a strategy to cultivate support.
“The group is well-positioned to capitalize on devastating drought and impending famine…..

And the US welcomes Somalis.
And when President Trump said something about them, the lame stream media and liberals in general and Mn governor said leave mu Somalis alone.
Stupidity has no outer limit
Marilyn says
This country needs to limit any refugees/asylees from anywhere to Christians being persecuted for their religion. These are people who share our religion, values, etc, and would fit right into our society, none of which is true of Somalis or other muslims. I always thought persecution for rrligion, gender, etc, was our reason for accepting a foreigner for asylum. To do so because their country is at war with someone is a very foolish action simply because, at any given time, most of these countries are fighting with someone. We simply cannot take care of the world and the world is NOT our responsibility, America is and, currently, our government is doing a terrible job of that responsibility.

If they’re not already on it, then I guess the American center for Law and Justice will soon be going on the SPLC list.

I presume there was no vetting for al-Shabab sympathizers in the previous presidency. Our current cache should be checked and double-checked now, and all new incoming should be examined about that. Since their very name means “the youth,” I fear cities will have even more gang problems and atrocities than it already does.
What really bothers me, is the stinking media, that don’t discuss openly and thoroughly about what they call, when they bother to mention it at all, “sectarian strife.” They never mention the sects at work, or whose civilians are being slaughtered like sheep. They need to worry at length about the tape on Trump’s necktie, or Melania’s heels.
As for the SJW’s, black and brown lives don’t seem to matter, when they’re Christian or African lives.
Marilyn says
Commonsense tells us it simply is not possible, no matter what we are told, to get accurate information about anyone from these countries, especially since most are always in turmoil & chaos. We need to stop bringing these people into our country. They really don’t care to become American, just to receive all the benefits without giving anything in return beneficial to America. Yet, the muslims do not hesitate to demand that WE change to appease them, while they refuse any change. And, amazingly, we have so many anti-American leaders, media, citizens, etc, rushing to bend over backwards to accommodate & please these people even to applying ours laws differently for them. It seems the only excuse needed for bad behavior is to be muslim. Too bad that doesn’t work for Americans that are Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Hebrew, etc. This special treatment is only for muslims. I just can never understand what makes them do special in our Christian country.

The banksters controlling Western politicians are amoral psychopaths who see Christians (who love freedom and truth) as obstacles to be removed.

Somalia: Jihad group’s “demented” beheadings, killing of Christians on the rise, 9,000 jihadis ready
………………………
God help us–pious Muslims do not consider beheading Christians to be demented–they consider it a “good deed” to slaughter Infidels, and there is no more Islamic form of murder than beheading.
mortimer says
Muslims view Christians as impure and repulsive, practically unworthy to be their slaves. They see all Christian women as potential sex slaves, because Mohammed’s favorite sex slave was an enslaved Coptic woman. Muslims see Christmas as the most hideous blasphemy. Muslims see the holy eucharist as an obscene ritual worshipping alcohol. Muslims see Good Friday and Easter as foul lies and contradictions of the Koran. Muslims hate Christians and all their practices ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Tabari IX:69 – “He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for those who DISBELIEVE, we will FIGHT THEM FOREVER in the Cause of Allah. KILLING THEM is a SMALL MATTER to us.”
Ishaq:327 – “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A SLAUGHTERED enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But ALLAH DESIRES KILLING THEM TO MANIFEST THE RELIGION.'”
Bukhari:V5B59N516 – “When Allah’s Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.'”
Irene Brekelmans says
The left and liberal and feminists, they must really feel good and at peace to be `christians. How does it feel to sit in your churches may be in the front rows? You feel happy and at peace, I can not imagine that.
You don’t even dare to open your mouths to utter some critics. You rather be slain and your children and God knows what will happen to them, but you are “political correct”. That must feel nice.
You could have united yourselves to protest these horrendous crimes, may Christ forgive you, but pls., never call yourselves Christians again, you don’t deserve it !!!
Susan B says
Irene the left and liberals are not Christians, they are part of the problem. Not sure about feminists, that word has been abused and used.
Westman says
Islam, the favorite religion of tribalists, born in tribalism, and exported to tribes; the religion of us and them, the chosen and the other…
Is it any surprise that former tribes who fought over hunting territory now fight over religion?
The adoption of Islam by the old tribalism has raised tribalism from the primitive local regions to the national level where it is currently held back by being intertwined with the national interests of dictators and the theological differences between Muslim sects. The OIC only exists to stop the interloper, the West’s democracy, after which the inter-sect “beating” of each other will continue.
Al-Shabaab is like a glimpse into Muhammad’s early, grisley, conquests; justifying mahem by declaring that Muhammad’s tribe was the chosen and the rest were but slaughter animals.
Europe will be the ultimate test of Islam’s ability to ascend tribalism. Islam will either bury its inter-sect hatchet, the schools of Islam uniting, or it will become scattered tribal zones of particular Islam sects, The latter is the most likely and will keep Islam from achieving its goal of ruling the West – although Europe is likely to, in essence, due to islamization, become a dystopia.

Lol…we could force the pope to call DEUS VULT. Crowd fund an army maybe??? No different from what’s done by George Soros (& cronies) and all the $ from the oil-rich muslim countries.
Marcy Watson says
The Pope is a Marxist, globalist, Islam loving POS!

There are a lot of parallels between the Kim Jong Un and Mohammad. The major difference is Kim Jong Un has atomic weapons.

Come to think of it Pakistan has atomic weapons
