Muslim Genocide of Christians
Boko Haram announced their allegiance to ISIS and the Caliphate
Boko Haram's primary target is Christians. In January 2015 alone, more massacres of Christians occurred than the entire year of 2014. From August to October 2014 nearly 200 churches were destroyed. In 2013, 300 churches destroyed. In 2011, 430 churches destroyed. Nigeria "had" a population of 80% Christian before the mass genocides began taking place. Latest reports say Nigeria's population is barely 50% Christian now and dwindling fast as the genocide continues. In January, in just a 2 day period, over 2000 Christians were killed. Somolia's al-Shabaab is doing the exact same thing (as well as other groups in north and central African countries--in Niger, 45 churches were torched in January and 10 Christians killed.

March 2014:
Mary Sameh George, a Christian was parking near her local church to deliver medicine to a sickly, elderly woman. A Moslem Brotherhood mob happened to be protesting at that time and when her cross was seen dangling from her rear view mirror they jumped on the car. The roof of the car collapsed in. They pulled her out of the car, beat her and pulled her hair to the point that portions of her hair and scalp came off. They beat, kicked & stabbed her. One Moslem Brotherhood grabbed her by the hair, lifting her head up, and slit her throat. Another pulled her pants off, to the point that she was totally naked. CLICK HERE

LEFT: This Christian nun activist is helping hundreds of young Christian girls who have been abducted, raped and mutilated by Moslems. Towards the end of the clip she is asked, "Who is helping you get through this?", she replies, "No one".
This wonderful woman deserves to be heard so that you, too, can be aware of what is really happening to Christians. Plus, add her to your prayers. |
Christians are targeted in North Africa. They are often falsely accused of blasphemy and then executed. Stoning is a common practice.

The rebels in Syria against Assad frequently attack Christian villages and massacre entire villages.

The laws state that: Christians are forbidden to make renovations to churches; Christians are forbidden to display crosses outside churches, ring church bells or pray in public; Christians are forbidden to carry arms and must follow other rules imposed by ISIS in the future. They offered Christians three choices: they could convert to Islam, accept ISIS' conditions, or risk being killed. "If they reject, they are subject to being legitimate targets, and nothing will remain between them and ISIS other than the sword." For article CLICK HERE

September 2013
A report confirms that Egypt’s Christians are increasingly being kidnapped and held hostage for ransom, some being killed even after payment is made. Kidnapping and holding for ransom Christians throughout the Islamic world has become especially common, with roots in Islamic law: second-class “infidel” Christians are, according to Koran 9:29, required to pay tribute, or jizya (an Arabic word which indicates something that substitutes for something else, in this case, money in exchange for the life of the condemned infidel, who, by refusing to convert to Islam, deserves death).

Left: a Christian beheaded in Sinai, Egypt
Christians are beheaded almost daily in various countries such as Libya, Egypt, Syria and others. Why are we not told about these horrific crimes against humanity?
The West ignores the persecution of Christians and therefore the atrocities continue.
Awareness and Education is important otherwise these killings will escalate.

Over 80 ancient churches have been destroyed in Egypt in just the last 7 months.
Egypt was the first to implement Christianity and began building churches in the year 42 AD.
Today these ancient churches and historical sights are being destroyed by Moslems.

Lebanon: An attacker firebombed the newly built Christian cathedral. Although Lebanon was Christian-majority in the mid-20th century, today it is roughly 60% Muslim, 40% Christian.
Sudan: Police and security forces used a truck and two land cruisers to batter down the fence around a Church, before breaking into the church and beating and arresting Christians as Muslims shouted “Allahu Akbar”. The government, which has been destroying or taking over church buildings in retaliation to the secession of the mainly Christian South Sudan in July 2011, is believed to be behind the move.
Syria: Nine children were killed and 27 people wounded after Islamic rebels fired mortar rounds at a Christian School and school bus. Also, the aftermath of the rebel invasion in the northeast included—among other atrocities such as killing and beheading Christians and their clergy—the destruction of all Christian icons in the local church and a two-thousand year-old icon.
Turkey: The oldest Christian place of worship in Istanbul, the monastery of San Giovanni, founded in 462 and classified as a museum, is now going to serve as a mosque. This would be the third ancient Christian building and heritage site to be transformed into a mosque.
India: A Christian college professor was acquitted of blasphemy charges but he is missing an arm from an attack which led to Moslems accusing him of blasphemy. His right hand and part of his arm were cut off by a group of men who accused him of creating exams with questions about Muhammad. A serious aspects of this attack was the attitude of the police, who registered the complaint against him and arrested him.
Iran: The fate of a Christian known as “Stephen” remains unknown. Iran’s secret police arrested him in July, 2013 on suspicions that he was engaging in evangelistic activities. Authorities transferred him from one jail to another. He was seen in solitary confinement. In October a judge “officially charged him with doing evangelism.” It is believed that he is currently held in the same prison where another Christian “prisoner of conscience” is being held, abused, and refused medical treatment, also on the charge of proselytizing. Explaining this rise in crackdowns on evangelizing, Mohabat News said, “Conversion of youth and their families has become a major concern for the Iranian security authorities and Islamic leaders.”
Pakistan: Blasphemy cases against Christians have reached an all-time high. Four such cases were reported in November, which, according to activists, is four times higher than the monthly average recorded over the past two years. Activists and clergy stress that the overwhelming majority of blasphemy accusations are being used as “instruments of revenge” against Christians, as a sure way to see them get punished for whatever real or imagined grievance accusing Muslims may have. Separately, Younis Masih, a 35-year-old Christian who had been imprisoned and sentenced to death on blasphemy charges since 2005, was finally released after judges decreed he did not blaspheme Islam. He and his family are still in hiding since some Muslims still seek to kill him despite his being cleared of the blasphemy charge. According to Younis: "I live with the fear of being killed.” And in the words of his lawyer: “Christians in Pakistan fear threats, attacks, violence, discrimination and hatred. The law of blasphemy is always a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads: Their life is not safe even after their release from prison.”
Somalia: A Muslim convert to Christianity living in Mogadishu was killed by Islamic gunmen accusing him of spreading the faith. Two men armed with pistols shot Abdikhani Hassan, 35, seven times as he approached his home. He is survived by his wife, who is pregnant, and five children ranging in age from 3 to 12. He and his wife converted to Christianity back in 2000. Before killing him, one of the assailants told a neighbor, “We have information that Hassan is spreading wrong religion to our people, and we are looking for him.” According to a source, “The men who murdered Abdikhani [Hassan] are suspected to be Al Shabaab militia,” the Somali wing of al-Qaeda which has vowed to cleanse the country of any Christian presence.
Turkey: A Christian pastor was arrested on charges of organizing human trafficking and prostitution. The Christian community where Orhan Picaklar, 42, is pastor, insists that he is innocent. Later, the church where the community meets was damaged by vandals. The government does not grant official recognition of “church” to new communities.
Central African Republic: 450,000 Christians have fled their homes in the 80% Christian-majority nation since the Islamic takeover in March 2013. Then, Seleka—a coalition of local and foreign Arabic-speaking Islamic militias—seized control of the capital in an orgy of violence, bloodshed, and rape, against Christians. As one analyst put it, “But Seleka does not rape, loot and kill indiscriminately. Rather, Seleka attacks Christians and spares Muslims. Christians, who make the majority of the African nation, are fighting back, leading to an extremely volatile situation. Christian Bishop Albert Vanbuel stated “a rebellion of religious extremism with evil intentions, characterized by profanation and planned destruction of religious buildings, especially Catholic and Protestant churches” is now in power.
Egypt: Three months after the Egyptian military liberated Delga from Muslim Brotherhood—who were forcing Christians to pay jizya, or tribute, for right of life—they continued to terrorize Christians in other towns across Egypt. Especially throughout regions in Upper Egypt, extortionists using the threat of kidnap, torture and murder seized money, land and other property from Christians. One Copt was tied by his kidnappers as they repeatedly shot an automatic rifle next to his ear. Besides the emotional damage he suffered, the shockwaves exiting the rifle combined with the muzzle blast shattered the Christian’s eardrums and burned his face. The Copt begged his family to gather the ransom money, and eventually they paid the kidnappers some 50,000 Egyptian pounds. He returned to his family shattered and unable to speak of the ordeal until recently.” According to the founder of the Maspero Union, targeting Christians in the context of seizing their money and property is seen “as a religious duty.” The director of a human rights organization in Upper Egypt said, “This past month alone, we had nine cases of kidnapping in Minya, and they all paid their ransom, which was between 100,000 and 250,000 Egyptian pounds for each case.”
Nigeria: After kidnapping a teenage Christian girl, members of the Boko Haram terrorist organization kept her as a slave, eventually putting a knife to her throat and offering her one of two choices: convert to Islam or die. “If I cried, they beat me. If I spoke, they beat me. They told me I must become a Muslim but I refused again and again… They were about to slaughter me and one of them begged me not to resist and just before I had my throat slit I relented. They put a veil on me and made me read from the Koran.” According to Reuters, “She ceremonially converted to Islam, cooked for the men, carried ammunition during an attack on a police outpost and was about to be married to one of the insurgents before she managed to engineer a dramatic escape. Recounting how her captors used her to lure people into traps, the 19-year-old told Reuters, and “They took them back to a cave and tied them up. They cut their throats, one at a time. I thought my heart would burst out of my chest, because I was the bait.” Among those who did the slaughtering was the Muslim wife of a leader, the only other woman in the band of jihadi terrorists. Separately, a Baptist high school principal and some teachers were beaten to a “pulp” and “state of coma” at the hands of “unknown persons,” who used, among other weapons, axes. The reason was that the school had earlier sent home a female student for wearing a veil, or Islamic hijab, while on school premises. Finally, over 70 Christians were killed by what were described as “Islamic extremists”: Boko Haram terrorists killed 34 Christians in Borno state, while “Muslim herdsmen” slaughtered 37 Christians, injured dozens, and looted and destroyed their homes, in coordinated attacks on four Plateau state villages.
Pakistan: An entire Christian community has been forced to flee a neighborhood known as the “Slaughter House,” due to the endemic killings, rapes of young girls, thefts, drug dealing, and extortions. Before surrounding Muslims began their incursions, the residential area was 90% Christian, 10% Hindu, with four churches and three temples. “It is almost empty now,” disclosed a Christian elder of a Christian family. “We all are separated now. We won’t be reunited again.” “A lot of the families have left the compound since 2008, after their daughters were kidnapped and raped,” claimed another community elder. “No one knows where they have gone.” He recalled an incident when a teenage girl, who was dancing at her brother’s wedding, was kidnapped. “Her parents, brother and relatives cried and appealed to the kidnappers but they didn’t listen,” he narrated. “She was dishonoured and was left outside the compound the next morning. That family was never seen in the city again.”
Sudan: Police and security forces used a truck and two land cruisers to batter down the fence around a Church, before breaking into the church and beating and arresting Christians as Muslims shouted “Allahu Akbar”. The government, which has been destroying or taking over church buildings in retaliation to the secession of the mainly Christian South Sudan in July 2011, is believed to be behind the move.
