“The video didn’t show Greek Orthodox Istanbulites’ forced migration out of the city that used to be 98-percent occupied by their ancestors because they were under such political pressure.” Indeed. And clearly the Erdogan regime is going in the direction opposite that of safeguarding the rights of Christians in Turkey. “Greek Orthodox Istanbulites slam Turkish […]
Nigeria: Over 50 Boko Haram jihad attacks on Christians in six months go unreported
In an era where the worst is concealed so as to protect those who are evil: Boko Haram Islamic terrorists carried out over “fifty different attacks on different communities between the end of 2019 to June 2020,” the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria (EYN) has revealed, most of which were “unreported or underreported” by […]
Pakistan: Christian family beaten for keeping 13-year-old daughter from being forcibly converted to Islam and raped
The daily persecution of minorities in Pakistan continues. In this case a young girl called Noor, a Pakistani Christian, was nearly abducted from her home by Muslim men. Her family was severely beaten when trying to protect her. The persecution occurred in the city of Sadigabad. The father, Aslam Masih, states that 12 men came […]
Mozambique: Muslims burn churches, kidnap young girls, behead people, displace 1000s in escalating jihad violence
“Bishop Luiz Fernando Lisboa of Mozambique’s Pemba diocese has been an outspoken advocate for the needs of the more than 200,000 people who have been displaced by the violent insurgency.” Lisboa states rightly: “The world has no idea yet what is happening because of indifference.” If the world truly cared about black lives, there would […]
Attacks on Christians in Europe rise 285% since 2008, converts from Islam particularly targeted
While the reason for this sharp rise, and its source, is generally ignored or obfuscated, here’s a clue as to what group is responsible for this: Christians in Europe are not simply experiencing social discrimination, prejudice, or restrictions on freedom. Christians, including clergy, have been attacked or killed for their faith. As in previous years […]
Nigeria: Muslims invade village, murder 11 Christians, set dozens of houses on fire
This kind of jihad attack happens in Nigeria with numbing regularity. If the victims were Muslims, they would be the subject of a blizzard of articles and feature stories, as well as academic studies and UN commissions. But since the victims are Christians and the perpetrators are Muslims, no one much cares. “Muslim Fulani Herdsmen […]
Pakistan: Muslim cleric says Christians “worst infidels of the universe, have no right to live in Islamic country”
“Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve.” (Qur’an 8:55) “Muslim Cleric Promotes Hatred Against Christians in Pakistan,” International Christian Concern, July 18, 2020: 07/18/2020 Pakistan (International Christian Concern) – Church leaders in Pakistan have raised concern over a video that went viral on social media that prompted hate against Christians. […]
Iran Imprisons Christians, Then Showcases Book on U.S. ‘Islamophobia’
My latest in PJ Media: “War is deceit,” according to a statement attributed to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, and the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran were taking notes. After stepping up the persecution of Christians and even carrying out raids and arrests against them, Iranian authorities paused long enough to unveil, with […]
Pakistan: Christians forced to remove cross from a church after threats from local Muslims
Intolerance is characteristic of Islamic supremacism. A Christian articulated the status of Christians in Pakistan: We constructed three floors of minarets on a church and fixed the cross on top of that. However, it was removed after we received threats from local Muslims. The Muslims demanded we remove the cross and all three floors of […]
Turkey: MP says “Decision to convert Hagia Sophia to mosque will make life more difficult for Christians here”
Indeed it will, as it is a new indication that Erdogan intends to destroy Turkish secularism altogether and restore Islamic rule to Turkey, which will involve the subjugation of the country’s remaining Christians as dhimmis. “Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan formally makes Hagia Sophia a mosque,” by Suzan Fraser, Associated Press, July 10, 2020: …Turkey’s […]
After Demonizing All Who Opposed Jihad Terror, Catholic Mag Wonders Why No One Speaks Out Against It
My latest in PJ Media: Last Thursday, the Jesuit periodical America sounded a dark note: “Are Nigeria’s Christians the target of a genocide? That is the conclusion of a number of religious freedom analysts and Nigerian clergy.” Yet the venerable Leftist Catholic magazine’s warning was veritably dripping with irony, for the same publication has for […]
America Magazine discovers Muslim genocide of Christians in Nigeria, wishes US and European bishops would speak out
Let’s take stock. In July 2020, the Jesuit magazine America has discovered that “Boko Haram Islamic militants have for years raged against minority Christian communities in northern Nigeria,” and now that their fellow Muslim Fulani cattle herders have also carried out “increasingly brutal attacks on Christian villages.” America magazine has even found that “Christians are […]
Pakistan: Muslims murder Christian for buying a home in a “Muslim-only” neighborhood
Imagine if the roles were reversed, not that that would ever or should ever happen. There would be a massive international outcry. But no one will take any significant notice of this. “Christian Man Shot for Living in a ‘Muslim Neighborhood’ in Pakistan Dies,” International Christian Concern, July 1, 2020: 07/01/2020 Pakistan (International Christian Concern) […]
Nigeria: Muslims are carrying out ‘systematic, planned, calculated’ genocide of Christians
This ongoing genocide will continue to get little to no establishment media attention. It doesn’t fit their narrative of Muslims as victims. No “Islamophobia” is being committed, so there’s nothing to see here. Move along. “Nigeria facing ‘systematic, planned, calculated’ genocide of Christians,” by Charles Collins, Crux, June 29, 2020: President Donald Trump should appoint […]
Sudan: Mosque leaders incite Muslims to attack Christians, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” stab Christian to death
This will get no coverage in the establishment media, which is indefatigably committed to the idea that Muslims are always and in every case victims. News that doesn’t fit the narrative doesn’t get attention. “Christians Attacked in Sudan after Incitement by Mosque Leaders in Khartoum,” Morning Star News, June 24, 2020: JUBA, South Sudan (Morning […]
Turkey: Erdogan taking advantage of pandemic to scapegoat Christians and deny them basic rights
While socialists and Antifa attack the history of the U.S. and the U.K. and ignore their development of societies that recognize and protect equal justice for all, Christians are being massacred and persecuted in majority-Muslim countries, with little international attention given to their plight. “Turkish authorities have started to simply assign land owned by a […]
Pakistan: Armed Muslim gang attacks church, tears down a cross, leaves Christians “terrified”
Just another day for Christians in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Nothing to see here: no “Islamophobia” was committed, so all is well. The cross is an affront to Islam. The Qur’an claims that Jesus was not crucified, although in somewhat equivocal language for what is supposed to be the perfect word of an omniscient […]
As US bishop excoriates Trump, bishops in Middle East and Nigeria applaud his executive order on religious freedom
Wilton Gregory’s religion is not Christianity, but Leftism, as is the case with many of his colleagues as well. And so his primary concern is not stopping the persecution of Christians, but stopping Donald Trump. In contrast, Ignace Joseph III Younan, Matthew Hassan Kukah, and Yousif Habash are Christians who live in areas where Christians […]
Nigeria: Muslims shoot or hack to death nine Christians, kidnap seven others
“May the blood that keeps being spilt cause sleep to depart from all those who carry out these attacks.” Unlikely. They believe that such attacks please the Allah who told them to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89; cf. 9:5). “Nine Christians Killed in Gun and Machete Attack in North-central Nigeria,” Morning […]
Egypt: Muslims demolish church, arrest Christians
Islamic law forbids the construction of new churches. Christians are “forbidden to ring church bells or display crosses, recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays, and are forbidden to build new churches” – Reliance of the Traveller o.11.5 (6,7) “Christian church demolished in Egypt, Christians arrested,” Time24, […]
