Pope Leo was just in Algeria, appealing for peace and tolerance. His appeal seems to have fallen upon deaf ears. Now, who could have predicted that?
“Algeria shuts protestant churches as Christians are pushed underground,” by Vincent Matinde, Christian Daily International, April 27, 2026:
Nearly all Protestant churches in Algeria have been forced to close, pushing thousands of Christians into private homes and informal gatherings as authorities tighten control over non-Muslim worship.
The closures, which have been systematic from 2017, are not isolated incidents but part of what a 2026 report by the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) describes as “a restrictive legal and administrative system incompatible with international standards on freedom of religion.”
The report documents what it calls a widening gap between Algeria’s constitutional guarantees and the lived reality of its Christian minority.
Since 2006, at least 58 Protestant churches have been shut down by authorities, including nearly all those affiliated with the Protestant Church of Algeria (EPA). By January 2025, the last remaining evangelical churches had effectively ceased operations.
The result is a quiet but sweeping transformation of Christian life. Prayer meetings now take place in private homes, improvised spaces or outdoors. Some believers gather in what the report describes as “house churches,” while others meet in remote areas, “churches under olive trees.” …

This is actual Islam and its Muslims exercising their totalitarian, Sharia power against Non-Muslims via Muslim discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism via Islamic Law as taught by Allah in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 3:28, 54; 9:5, 29, 111; 49:14; 98:6-7, etc.). Muslims are Totalitarian Terrorists of Allah. After all, Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”
Allah rewards Muslims, Terrorists of Allah, with a Garden Paradise when they kill and are killed in Jihad for Allah, war against Non-Muslims with MUSLIM MONEY and with MUSLIM LIVES to make Islam supreme. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” See also Qur’an 2:191; 4:89, 91; 9:5, 29, 111; 48:29, etc.

Christians will continue to be persecuted in every form and fashion until the return of the King of Kings and LORD of Lords, Yeshua Hamashiach, JESUS the El Gibor!
Mo says
As He told us it would happen. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
somehistory says
And that is the Truth. Jesus warned of it, and promised His return Christians put faith in His words.
Beans🫘 says
Christians persecuted in Islamic countries? But wait, didn’t Tucker tell us how superior they can be? I thought it was great there to be a Christian, ISRAEL is the one to watch out for!
Didn’t the pope JUST tell us how great Algeria is and how horrible Israel is?
What am I missing
I wonder what the bootlickers at the Anglican Church will say about this.

Now imagine if this were Israel. Imagine how many news outlets would be broadcasting the story across the wire services. Imagine the reality- the reality if even one church was closed, one only, you’d see a flurry of stories about those Torah supremacists trying to take over and oppress others. Now, here’s a story of an entire nation doing just that, and nothing, nothing noted across the airwaves about any of this.
ploome says
exactly…shall we wait for El Papa to send a strongly worded message?
they are such abysmal hypocrits
ploome says
regarding:
” ……. Imagine the reality- the reality if even one church was closed”
while the area was being bombed and the church refused to build or have a bomb shelter built..
…………have too see the church closure IN CONTEXT
somehistory says
The report only mentions “Protestant” churches> What about the Catholic ones? What about the one where the ;pope’ did some talking? did he make a secret deal with the muzzies?
muzzies fear the Truth. They also fear other things which have nothing to do with their worship of demons. their false ‘gods’ want the devout to destroy things and people which reject the evils of islam.
Jesus, speaking of the devil, satan, said, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.” And so satan’s children do the :desires of their father.”

The Pope is a false teacher and he sides with Islamic Thugs.
