“Islamic extremism is a primary driver of Christian persecution in eight out of the ten most dangerous places for Christians to live, Open Doors revealed Wednesday in its World Watch List 2020.”
This is nothing new. The suffering endured by Christians because of Islamic supremacist bigotry and hate is unfathomable to most Westerners. Jihad Watch has referred to Open Door USA stats about Islamic persecution of Christians for years, as has reported extensively on the genocide being committed against them in Africa and the Middle East that is mostly ignored by the mainstream media while even fake accusations of “Islamophobia” are plastered on front pages. Fake anti-Muslim hate crimes have become an epidemic, while the media ignores the routine slaughter of Christian families and other minority populations by jihadists.
To be politically correct, most media consistently refer to “radical Islam” as the culprit, but what they consider radical Islam is normative Islam. These countries are among the top 20 states where “Islamic oppression” is listed by Open Doors as being the source of Christian persecution (in order of severity): Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Eritrea, Sudan, Yemen, Iran, Syria, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Maldives, Iraq, Egypt, Algeria, Uzbekistan, Myanmar and Laos.
These countries are not “radical” Islamic states. They are members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which is closely aligned with the United Nations. Despite the evidence about the role of normative Islam in the persecution of and intolerance toward minorities, Islam is still being pushed as a religion of peace. Such thinking justifies open-door immigration, enabling Islamic supremacist attitudes to be imported into Western countries.
“Radical Islam Still Driving Global Christian Persecution, Report Finds,” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, January 16, 2020:
Islamic extremism is a primary driver of Christian persecution in eight out of the ten most dangerous places for Christians to live, Open Doors revealed Wednesday in its World Watch List 2020.
In Somalia, for instance, number three on the list of the 50 countries where Christians face the most serious persecution, the violent Islamist group, al-Shabaab “has repeatedly expressed its desire to eradicate Christians from the country,” Open Doors noted.
Some 99 percent of Somali citizens are Muslims, and being exposed as a convert to Christianity results in life-threatening peril, “often leading to on-the-spot execution,” the report observed. “As a result, most Somali Christians keep their faith completely secret.”
The situation has only gotten worse over recent years, the report stated, and Christians in Somalia are so vulnerable to attacks by Islamic militants that “in the interests of security,” Open Doors decided not to publish specific examples of persecution for fear of inciting further violence.
In Libya, on the other hand, various Islamic militant groups have gained control over parts of the country and “Libyan converts to Christianity face abuse and violence for their decision to follow Christ,” Open Doors said.
“Christians are at risk all over the country, but especially vulnerable in areas where radical Islamic groups are present,” the report states. “ISIS still maintains a presence in the wider region around Sirte. Other groups, like those connected to the Islamic Dawn coalition control areas around Tripoli and some parts of Tripoli itself. In the East, radical groups are at least present in Benghazi.”
In the fifth worst country for Christians, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Christians live under the constant threat of mob attacks, Open Doors revealed.
As a tiny minority of the heavily Muslim population, all Christians “suffer from institutionalized discrimination, illustrated by the fact that occupations seen as low, dirty and derogatory are reserved for religious minorities like Christians by the authorities,” the report said.
Even the few Christians belonging to the middle class are not exempted “from being marginalized or persecuted in an Islamic culture,” the report said, and “believers are always at risk because of the country’s notorious blasphemy laws.”
Christian women often suffer most, being “targeted for both their faith and their gender,” Open Doors said. “An estimated 700 girls and women abducted each year are raped and then forcefully married to Muslim men in the community, usually resulting in forced conversions.”….

Great report by Christine D-W. In study after study, Islam is counted as the greatest persecutor of minorities, but the Leftards ignore these reports and they even commission their own skewed reports using ‘selective data’ to cook up a fake conclusion that reduces the culpability of Islam.
Islam has killed 270 million non-Muslim kafirs in 1400 years. This averages one kafir killed by Muslims every 20 minutes since Mohammed began his raids.
An average of 50 people are killed in Muslim jihad attacks every day of the year.
elee says
+1 and loud applause for this article. Islam is the religion of violent criminality. As long as there is Islam these incidents will occur.
Terry Gain says
This record disqualifies Islam as a legitimate religion. Once we understand that it is a supremacist, totalitarian, conquest ideology, we may work up the common sense solutions to deal with it. The religious aspects of Islam are completely irrational.
A God who commands the killing of innocent people and promises a carnal paradise? A Prophet who claims that woman are inferior to men and that the majority of people in hell are female? What sane person believes such idiocy? Islam as a religion is an elaborate fantasy developed to give cover to the totalitarian essence of this conquest ideology.
faraway says
“The religious aspects of islam are completely irrational.” That is why moslems are indoctrinated from birth and why questioning doctrine is considered heresy.
Terry,I owe you an apology for a previous post.I was indeed far away and on the move.And obviously having a bad day.Thanks for your measured response.
gravenimage says
Terry, there have been evil religions before, as you well know. What about the worship of Baal and the religion of the Aztecs?
The unexpected voice says
Again, why should the West tolerance mohammedans when the mohammedans themselves have no tolerance.
Savvy Kafir says
The West should not tolerate the presence of Muslims. To do so is cultural suicide by slow poison — accompanied by lots of raping and slaughtering of non-Muslims. No exceptions that I know of, in 1400 years of Islamic invasions and immigration. It is pure insanity to allow these infidel-hating savages to live among us.
The unexpected voice says
The West can’t live with muslims simply because they want to kill all kafir. their holy book tell them to rape and enslave infidel women, to kill all non-believer. so yes, it’s insane to let them in.
Terry Gain says
They are let in because Islam is considered a religion. If we were to recognize that it is an evil, supremacist, totalitarian, conquest ideology rather than a legitimate religion, we will have less resistance to banning them. Failure to develop this truth about Islam will inevitably lead to the Islamization of America. Europe can now only be saved by civil war.
gravenimage says
It is not true that everyone in the West considers religion to be beyond criticism. Really, criticizing Judaism and Christianity is actually considered fashionable in many quarters.
It is more “political correctness” that makes speaking the truth about Islam off-limits for too many.

CogitoErgoSum says
Perhaps the Pope should ask the leaders of the Islamic countries to agree to a treaty between Christians and Muslims which includes payment of the Jizya in return for certain protections for Christians under the treaty. Breaking of the treaty by Muslims would constitute grounds for war by Christians against Muslims. I believe the Pope can approve of war when it is considered just. Of course this is ridiculous because never in a million years would Muslims honor such a treaty as they would always find a way of accusing Christians of breaking the treaty.
Daniel Triplett says
I previously outlined a plan for victory in this 1400 year war. War ends. Kafirs win, Ummah loses. A strategy nearly identical to many other successful campaigns in military history, with slight modification for the current threat and modern weapons systems technology You called me “Judas,” for some reason known only to you.
Now, you propose a treaty of submission, aided and abetted by the Pontiff, that condemns Christians in Dar al-Islam to dhimmitude forever, to accept accept second-class status, endure humiliation, and pay the Jizya — all as long as you and your family remain safe, faraway from the front lines and the evil.
Who’s the Judas?
CogitoErgoSum says
If I remember correctly I think you were proposing the use of nuclear weapons and I didn’t think that was a good idea. I do not remember exactly why I mentioned Judas. Do you have a link to that discussion? As for being a dhimmi I think the terms of that can be worked out in the treaty. If the Muslims want our money badly enough we can negotiate a contract with some pretty good terms where there is no humiliation or only token humiliation involved. If they break the terms we can go to war. We in the West give some of these Islamic countries plenty of money anyway so we might as well get something back for it.
Go ahead and call me a what you want, if I can call you what I want. Seems fair to me.
CogitoErgoSum says
If you show me the link to that discussion you might be able to prove me wrong but I think you were describing a plan that included a large number of nuclear strikes against countries which did not have nuclear weapons. I think the reason I referred to Judas in my response was because that seemed to be the type of thing Judas wanted Jesus to do — to use His powers and influence as a political leader to wipe out everything opposed to establishing His kingdom on Earth by bringing about a war between the Jews and the Romans or whoever else opposed Him.
Your plan just reminded me of that type of thinking. At least that is how I remember the discussion but maybe you remember it differently.

” Of course this is ridiculous”, whew. Amen brother!

CogitoErgoSum–with all respect–why should any of us pay Jizya to barbaric Muslims? Besides, Muslims always have excuses for harming even “protected” Infidels, like claiming that some Christian “burned the Qur’an”, a perennial favorite of homicidal Mohammedans.
CogitoErgoSum says
Did you miss the part where I said if they violated the treaty we would have reason for a just war against them? As for the Jizya we are paying it already and getting nothing in return. Once people understand what is happening with the Jizya payments they would come to understand Islam a little better which I hope would cause them to be outraged … as it outraged Thomas Jefferson enough to fight Islam.
gravenimage says
CogitoErgoSum, Muslims are incapable of violating Shari’ah law against Infidels. Even if they decide to slaughter all Infidels who are paying Jizya, under Shari’ah they believe they have the right to do so. dhimmis can *always* be threatened, abused, and even murdered. They only survive on the whim of their Muslim “betters”.
gravenimage says
I also think that civilized nations diplomatically recognizing that Muslims have the right to persecute Christians and other Infidels and demand that they pay to avoid being mass-murdered would be a *terrible* move. This would be acknowledging that Muslim savagery is legally right and proper.
All that Jizya would also fund Jihad terror.
gravenimage says
One more thing, CogitoErgoSum–the US at least is starting to cut “foreign aid” to many Muslim polities such as Pakistan and the “Palestinian Territories” because of their continued enabling of Jihad–I think this is a good move.
CogitoErgoSum says
My intent is to get everybody to see that. I’m just looking for a way to get people to understand better how Islam works. And as I keep saying, we are paying the Jizya already but most people don’t realize it.
gravenimage says
Okay, CogitoErgoSum.
And the US has actually cut aid to Pakistan and the “Palestinian Territories” due to their funding of Jihad. Glad to see it.

Saying that a Christian “insulted Muhammed” is another fave.

Yep!

I wouldn’t allow Pope Francis to care for my dog. He is an idiot who just needs to eff off.
tim gallagher says
I was just looking back at that report here at Jihad Watch about the “Dallas advertising board about the “Muslim Jesus” and all that lovely, common ground that islam is supposed to have with Christianity. This report about the ongoing slaughter of Christians by Muslims shows what total BS the supposedly friendly connection between Islam and Christianity is. These slaughters committed by Muslims is more like what Islam has always done to all non-Muslims for its whole, miserable 1400 year history. Any of the propaganda about islam living in harmony is complete garbage. Reports like this show the true face of Islam. As The unexpected voice says (up above), Islam shows no tolerance and no non-Muslim country should tolerate the mohammedans. Our societies are just far too nice in the way they treat Islam and its adherents.

Looking for London, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Malmo, Manchester (Britain), Minneapolis, Detroit. Didn’t make the list….yet.
Dave Van De Cappelle says
Islam is not here to integrate, unlike every other religions who have come to North America, who all got along with each other, muslims do want to integrate, they are here to Dominate us
Islam is NOT a religion, maybe a cult at most, but more of a Political system then a Religion
Since the start of islam, 270 million People have died by at hands of muslims worldwide, it is not a religion of peace.
To back up my facts watch this video and see for yourself – https://youtu.be/t_Qpy0mXg8Y

Good for you for stating the obvious. Even on this great site the majority are deniers about Islam. They talk like leftists when it comes to Islam.
gravenimage says
How is saying that we should not change our language and violate the rules of logic for Muslims talking like a leftist? I’m afraid this makes no sense.

Don’t forget the moderate crocodiles and moderate pythons.

Sure enough. Good for Open Doors for saying this out loud.
OREN WYSOCKI says
The other two nations that are dangerous for christians to live is communist china, and communist north korea. The party of toleration and the religion of peace fighting against fascism, at least according to the banker owned media that doesn’t mind bernie, the USSR, or the nazi’s, all of whom they covered up for and played fake opposition for, because the left deserve communism. They got Trump in to,, there’s no reason to believe that Netanyahu is exempt either. In G-d I trust.
