How strange! Why might this be? Could it have something to do with these teachings of Islam?
Jesus is not the Son of God and belief in the Trinity is “excess”: “O people of the book, do not exaggerate in your religion or say anything about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word that he conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and his messengers, and do not say Three, Stop, it is better for you. Allah is only one God. It is far removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. Everything that is in the heavens and everything that is on the earth is his. And Allah is sufficient as defender.” — Qur’an 4:171
And: “It is not fitting for Allah that he should take to himself a son. Glory be to him, when he decrees a thing, he says to it only, Be, and it is.” — Qur’an 19:35
Jesus was not crucified: “And because of their saying, We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, they did not kill him nor crucify him, but it seemed so to them, and indeed, those who disagree about this are in doubt about it, they have no knowledge of it except pursuit of a supposition, they did not kill him for certain.” — Qur’an 4:157
Those who believe in the divinity of Christ are unbelievers: “They indeed have disbelieved who say, Indeed, Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say, Who then can do anything against Allah, if he had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he wills. And Allah is able to do all things.” — Qur’an 5:17 (cf. 5:72)
Christians have forgotten part of the divine revelations they received: “And with those who say: Indeed, we are Christians, we made a covenant, but they forgot a part of what they were reminded about. Therefore we have stirred up enmity and hatred among them until the day of resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.” — Qur’an 5:14
Those who believe that Jesus is God’s Son are accursed: “And the Jews say, Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say, The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the statements of those who disbelieved before. May Allah curse them. How perverse they are.” — Qur’an 9:30
Christians who do not accept Muhammad and the Qur’an are the most vile of created beings: “Indeed, the unbelievers among the people of the book and the idolaters will remain in the fire of Gehenna. They are the most vile of created beings.” — Qur’an 98:6
Muslims must fight against and subjugate Christians: “Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29
Also, a hadith has Muhammad predicting that Jesus will return at the end of the world and break the cross, as it is an insult to Allah’s power to say that he would have allowed one of his prophets to be crucified: “Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, ‘By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary [Jesus] will shortly descend amongst you people [Muslims] as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizya [a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government]. Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts.’” — Bukhari 3.34.425
“Iran ranked eighth hardest country to be Christian,” Article 18, January 18, 2023:
Iran has risen back to eighth place on an annual list of the countries where it is hardest to practise the Christian faith.
This marks a return to Iran’s 2021 ranking on the World Watch List, which is produced by Christian charity Open Doors International, after a year in ninth place.
For the past five years, Iran has oscillated between eighth and ninth place on the list.
This year, Iran has moved back above Afghanistan, which last year topped the list, even ahead of perennial “winner” North Korea.
The other countries in the top 10 are Somalia, Yemen, Eritrea, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan and Sudan.
Iran’s rise by one point in Open Doors’ scoring system was “mainly caused by an increase in reported violent incidents”, said the charity, “including an abduction”.
“The outlook for Iranian Christians, in particular converts from Islam to Christianity, is by no means improving,” Open Doors said….

No surprise at all. Islam is a hate filled type of religion (as shown throughout the Koran) and does not encourage a tolerant attitude towards anyone but fellow Muslims. What annoys me is the way that, despite the way Muslims keep whingeing about being victims of discrimination in western countries, our societies do treat Muslims well. I do not believe that islam, the cause of so much murder and misery for 1400 evil years of its existence, deserves to be treated well. I’d put it on a level with Nazism and it should be treated as a malevolent ideology in the way nazism is generally treated.
somehistory says
Tim, no surprise for me either. We have the accounts…some of them…right here on this sit, and Raymond Ibrahim documents, every month, attacks against Christians. He said when he began, he thought it would be a few, but it’s hundreds and hundreds every year.
islam is straight from satan the devil and devoted mozlums are following him.
satan the devil tried to have Jesus eliminated….managing to have Him murdered, but Jesus was brought back by His Father….just as was foretold in Genesis about the “bruise in the heel.”
Not being able to kill Jesus a second time, satan is after Christians, using mozlums and others to murder all whom they can.
tim gallagher says
somehistory, I can find nothings worthwhile in islam. To me, it seems so full of hatred and calls for violence, morally complete degeneracy in terms of all those rapes, the child brides, and so on. The extremely high ideals and peacefulness preached by Jesus are the complete opposite to islam’s evil nature. As you say, islam seems satanically evil.
Linde B. says
Hi Tim, You are 100% correct. And I am grateful to JihadWatch for telling the truth about what goes on in Muslim majority countries and the disgusting way that many Christians are treated there. The very old tribal mentality prevails in Islam wherever large swathes of Muslims are living.
Muslims need to answer these questions: Did your prophet Muhammad ever make a miracle by healing people from their sicknesses and diseases? Did your prophet Muhammad ever make a miracle by sharing a small amount of food and from it fed five thousand people? Did your prophet Muhammed ever walk on water and command the storm to cease? Is there anywhere in the Quran that says: “Allah loves all his creatures.” ?
I am of the opinion that Muhammed was jealous of Jesus. I also think being in that hot Saudi Arabian sun made him “brain-washed”. And lastly, I believe Muhammed was and still is Satan’s #1 disciple. 😈 It is truly horrific that so many people think Islam is “the religion of peace.”
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Linde B. Like you, I’m grateful that JIhad Watch does report on the atrocities constantly being perpetrated by Muslims against Christians and other non-Muslims. I first came across those verses from the vile book, the Koran, which called for Muslims to go out and kill non-believers when they got the opportunity here at Jihad Watch and, back then, as I knew little about islam, I was shocked. I began to include those quotes in letters I wrote to our politicians here in Australia because I was pretty sure that most politicians didn’t have a clue about islam’s nature (just as I had only just been woken up back then). I hope it woke some of them up. I agree with you that it is horrific that so many people still think of islam, this evil religious ideology, as being basically peaceful. islam strikes me as being the polar opposite of Christianity, which has such high ideals. islam is down in the gutter morally and is dangerous because of its murderous violence..
Brian Ozzy says
I’m 100% with you Tim. I forced myself to read the kooran 3 times just to make sure that this was the disgusting, idiotic, murderous, bigoted, racist triipe that was spurring on these continual rabid demonstrations that the moronic element of the believers engage in. It is the worst, hate-filled load of pustulence I have ever had the misfortune to read. Mein Kampf is quite mild in comparison.
They have their little quivering feelings bruised by the burning of this garbage, well boo-hoo. I am also enraged by their continuous murder spree on Israelis and unarmed civilians from one end of the world to the other. Muslims have proven time without end that they should be banned in all countries and banished to the plethora of muslim countries that have been taken over via force throughout the last 1400 years.
marc says
“Mein Kampf is quite mild in comparison” I don’t know why you think you should even be comparing, Mein Kampf is still the number 2 selling book in most islamic countries, followed closely by the protocols of the elders.

Jesus warned Christians about this. It is not surprise. The “world hates me,” Christ said and “you will be objects of hatred on account of my Name,”
mozlums are taught to hate Christians and taught to murder all who will not leave the True Faith and follow satan.

I’m a tad surprised to see China absent from the list, if North Korea is there

It makes me sick to read about all the murders that are being committed in Uganda, Nigeria, the Congo, and now in Jerusalem. May God bring His wrath upon all those butchers soon.

Just a fact or two, that you might not have been aware of….
The name of Nigeria’s leader is Buhari. And did you know that both Trump and Biden had him invited to the White House?
I was so furious with Trump, when he invited him, and when they both went outside, to make speeches to the press, what Trump said to him (Buhari), had my blood boiling (it’s not in the WhiteHouse dot gov website anymore, but it IS on Youtube! Just put the words “Trump and Buhari” speech, or something like that, in Youtube’s search box, to hear it all).
You probably already know that MANY Christians have been horribly murdered over there in Nigeria, for MANY years, and still happening today, of course.
First Trump couldn’t tell him enough, of how grateful, and how pleased he was, to have him there, and then when on, to say, how much money he (Trump) was giving him, every year (Billions was the term used). And how much business that the US gives that country, and how much more they are going to receive in the future. And on and on and on were the “sweet nothing’s” that Trump gave him.
Oh, but about the killings of Christians? That came at the very end, with just a few words, of how Buhari should keep the numbers down, or some bull like that.
And to think that I believed Trump, when he said he was a Christian. To have to vote between him and Obiden, wouldn’t be too hard to make, because of one….OBiden is killing this country in almost every way, and two, because of what I saw Trump do, right before he left office. To make this comment short, I’ll just say, he made a peace agreement between some Middle East countries, and Israel.
I suppose, you knowing God, that you would know that He has used sinners though out the bible, to do His will? Well, I see that the world was given a break of a few years, because Trump HAS TO come back in office, and finish the job he started. No one else can do it, only him. To try to put this into words is tough, but he’s going to be the middle man, to having the 7 year peace plan signed, that starts the 7year Tribulation period.
You also probably know, that since Pres. Carter days, EVERY President after him, has tried and failed, to make a peace treaty between Israel and Palestine. But it hit me, after what Trump started, that no ONE MAN, can make this peace treaty. Then how does this peace treaty come about? I’d tell ya more if your interested, but this comment is long enough. I’ll just say, that the way it comes, is SO SIMPLE, it’s a wonder that no one has thought of it…Trump just gets a bunch of Middle Eastern countries, to do the job, while he sits back.
OLD GUY says
This situation of muslims killing Christians is not going to go away or get better. Islam teaches it’s young children to hate Christians and to strike their neck. When you grow that kind of hate from childhood on, it will continue forever, or until Christians and other religions defend themselves and destroy the enemy Islam.
joanofark06 says
Good comment, but I have to say, that what you said about “Christians and other religions” defending themselves isn’t going to happen, between now and when the “coming soon” 7 year Tribulation starts, or even during, or after that.
Nice thought anyway.
Remember after 9/11, when thousands upon thousands of muslims, just all at once, decided to leave their homes, families and friends, and go HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS, of miles, and went into all these 27 or 28, NON muslim countries, where every one of those leaders of those countries, and again, all at once, opened their borders wide, not knowing or caring what these “people” believed in? It was all pretty spooky and weird, unless, you knew what the reasoning was, of it.
Have you heard the fairy tale (what most non-Christians call it), in which there will be a time (actually a very specific time), when this “man” will come, and without getting into details, or what brings this about, tells the whole world, that they must show their worship to him, by taking his mark. A mark of which you cannot buy or sell without it (wanna buy food, don’t ya?), and have this mark placed either in your right hand or your forehead.
Well, this will be a man with a physical body, but was actually a spirit, from the beginning of time, until THAT point. And so, a physical body can’t be all over the world, like a spirit could do, and so he’ll need his followers to assist him, in making sure everyone has their mark. BUT there will be MANY who won’t take this mark…dedicated Christians, Jews, and others.
Now, you could do a search online of this verse, or look in a bible (if you have one), but what does Satan have done to the ones that will NOT take his mark? Read this verse (Rev 20:4), and you’ll know. And who’s going to do this, extermination, all around the world?
Well, think of who else hates all these God people, besides Satan? Those ones who have been scattered into all, and every NON muslim country, and made their home there (while they HATE everything about them, and which have NOTHING in common with!)
Muslims have spread all around the world for a purpose and a reason…their just being patient. Oh, some of them can’t wait anymore, and start killing, but then Satan has made all the jailers and judges, and lawyers, say that’s mental illness, and before ya know it, their right back where they were! Why else is this “mental illness” put on every muslim? And satan laughs!

So many brilliant comments here. My heart goes out to all those being persecuted by Muslims.
