Christians Persecuted as World Panders to Islam

Both Muslims and woke Westerners around the world recently ended celebrating Ramadan, a “holy” month that Muslim militants always celebrate through jihad and murder. As usual, Islam receives all the fanfare while the West ignores harsh persecution of Christians around the world.

In 2023, 365 million Christians were persecuted and 5,000 martyred. Anti-Christian persecution is an epidemic around the world, largely because of intolerant Muslims and Communists.

Nigeria is the most deadly nation on the planet to be a Christian, accounting for over 80% of global Christian martyrs, and an advocacy group is trying to have the perpetrators labeled a terrorist group. Unfortunately, since Fulani militants are Muslim, world leaders—especially the Biden administration—aren’t interested in recognizing the truth. Almost all the worst nations for Christians are Communist or Muslim, but don’t expect to hear that fact from the mainstream media.

Following yet another deadly attack just after Easter that killed at least eight, Bokkos Cultural Development Council (BCDC) Vanguard (Bokkos is part of Nigeria’s Plateau state) spoke out. “It is documented that in the past 11 years of senseless violence against our people, we have mourned the loss of at least 1,000 lives in Bokkos,” BCDC Chairman Farmasum Fuddang said. “Over 30 of our communities have been seized and turned into no-go zones for our people. Additionally, we have lost thousands of acres of crops to the destructive grazing of cattle by these land grabbers. None of these crimes or criminals have been prosecuted!” Plateau state is an epicenter of jihad violence. Over 60,000 Nigerian Christians have been massacred and many more kidnapped or displaced in the decade-long genocide in Nigeria.

Multiple African nations currently suffer from jihadi persecution. For instance, six Christian missionaries from Kenya were killed in Somalia on Good Friday by Islamic militants. Kenyans are also attacked by the same Al-Shabaab militant group in their home country. In Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), at least seven people were killed on April 2, others were taken hostage, and the local Christian health center looted and burned. Uganda, Sudan, Mozambique, and Algeria are among the other African countries suffering violence against Christians.

Multiple Asian and Middle Eastern countries are also plagued by persecution of Christians. In Myanmar (Burma), for example, eight were killed and 15 wounded when the Burmese military bombed a monastery on Easter. Over 160 incidents of violence against Christians were reported this year in India just between January and mid-March. Christians also face oppression and violence in North Korea, China, Afghanistan, Russia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Gaza, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, and Laos.

While Americans and other Westerners howl about the fake “crisis” of Islamophobia and empathize with jihad-loving Gazans, Christians are being harassed, kidnapped, displaced, injured, and killed on a daily basis in many countries. Besides anti-Semitism, hatred of Christianity is the worst and most deadly religious prejudice plaguing the world today.
