360 Million Christians Persecuted in 2021, and Muslim Violence Worldwide Continues
360 Million Christians Persecuted in 2021, and Muslim Violence Worldwide Continues
JihadWatch reported on this shocking statistic: “Record-breaking 360 million Christians persecuted in 2021, Hungarian prime minister one of few to speak out.” Imagine if this statistic were about Muslims or transgenders (not that Western media cares too much for persecuted Uyghur Muslims in China). But there seems a remarkable lack of interest in persecution of Christians from world leaders and major media. This is especially telling when you consider that the overwhelming number of Christians killed in 2021 were in Nigeria, an African country. I guess world leaders only pretend to care about Africans when they want to push the dangerous Covid vaccines?
“In 2021, almost 6,000 Christians were killed due to their religion. The number increased by 24 percent compared to the previous year, when less than 5,000 cases were recorded. Eight out of ten Christians killed were from Nigeria.
The number of closed, attacked, or destroyed churches has also increased by more than 600 cases. According to the organization, the number of detained Christians for religious reasons increased by 44%.
Although Nigeria featured the most Christians killed, outright persecution is the worst in Afghanistan. . .Often overlooked by the news media, Christians are the most persecuted of any group in the world. In recent years, a record number of attacks on Christians has also been recorded in Europe.”
Oh, the sound of silence from the West. . . So much of the persecution of Christians is from Muslims, and we wouldn’t want to be Islamophobes and report on that, would we?
There are too many sad stories of Muslim violence around the world. JihadWatch details the extensive basis of justification there is in Islam for taking sex slaves, relevant to this heart-breaking story:
“More than a dozen girls have been abducted by Boko Haram terrorists in their latest attack in a community in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, POLITICS NIGERIA reports.
The insurgents broke into the town on Thursday night after shooting in different directions.
Civilians fled into the bush and surrounding villages when the gunmen struck at Pemi village, near Chibok. The insurgents were said to have torched not less than 20 houses, including a branch of Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria (EYN) Church.
According to a resident, the leader of vigilantes in the community was the main target as the local guards have waged war against the insurgents in the axis.
The terrorists captured the vigilante group’s commander and slit his throat.
Eight of those abducted escaped, but 17 girls are in captivity.”
Nigeria is not the only place suffering from radical Muslim violence. “Resurgent Islamic State launches carefully planned jihad attacks in Syria and Iraq, dozens killed.” No comment from the people who called climate change an existential threat.
“Turkey: Nominee for top Constitutional Court called for destruction of Israel.” Islam is a fundamentally anti-Jewish religion, and radical Muslim leaders around the world consistently target Israel (for example, Ayatollah Khamenei), so this is unfortunately no surprise.
“Morocco: French tourist stabbed to death at market by ‘mentally ill’ Muslim, ‘possible terror links’ investigated.” The same murderous man attacked “people with a knife in a café located on Agadir’s coastal strip. . .injuring a Belgian woman.” Strange how these Muslim terrorists are always determined to have mental illness. It couldn’t possibly ever be because the Quran encourages Muslims to kill infidels, for instance?
“France awards Order of Merit to mayor accused of using taxpayer money to fund jihad propaganda in schools.” Nothing like incentivizing dangerous radicalization!
“Biden Frees Gitmo Terrorist Linked to Chanukah Murder of Israeli Children.” Good old Joe! Always looking out for the victimizer. Of course Biden is the man reportedly “withholding a ‘secret agreement’ with Iran from Congress.” Iran is a major state sponsor of terrorism, but what of that?
“Pakistan: Woman to be ‘hanged by her neck till she is dead’ for Muhammad images on WhatsApp.” A totally reasonable sentence, right? Where are the feminists?
“‘Palestinian’ Muslim who killed [Israeli] teen: According to Islam ‘it is permitted for me to kill someone who took my lands’.” Even aside from the fact that murder is never justified, “Palestine” has never existed as a country and Israel did not steal land from the “Palestinians.”
“Virginia: Afghan [Migrant] Convicted of Sexually Assaulting 3-Year-Old Girl, Says it’s Allowed in His Culture.” Well, he’s not wrong. Child brides and adult male sexual interaction with very young children (even infants) are sanctioned under Islamic law. What should disturb us is that the Afghan was right about his culture—and Biden brought tens of thousands of Afghans to America with very little vetting.
“Germany: Afghan Muslim migrant tries to kill woman because ‘women shouldn’t work,’ says ‘I sent her to paradise’.” The woman, a social worker who helped refugees, became partially paralyzed from the knife attack.
“Sweden deports imam for recruitment of Islamic State jihadis across the country.” One of multiple imams in Sweden to do extremist recruiting.
“Germany: Muslim ‘refugee’ douses three female government workers with gasoline, threatens to light them on fire.” The migrant had a history of previous criminal arrests.
“Catholic Charities eager to ‘serve’ Afghan Muslim refugees while abandoning the most needy Christians.” Unfortunately, Catholic leaders in America have long been scarcely distinguishable from Democrat operatives. JihadWatch explains:
“There is big money in the business of settling refugees. Never mind the fact that jihadists and a range of criminals are coming to America unvetted. Robert Spencer wrote about the astronomical size of it HERE. . .
Unvetted Afghans, that is, and generally not Christians. In Afghanistan, the most needy are Christians who are in hiding with no way to escape. According to Open Doors USA, Afghanistan is the number one worst place in the world for Christians to live.”
“Switzerland: Crosses to disappear from nation’s largest cemetery because they upset ‘other religions’.” Heaven forbid, in a Christian nation, non-Christians see religious symbols they don’t happen to like. Imagine if Switzerland were trying to ban all Muslim religious symbols from the cemetery?
