As Iran is an Islamic republic, it considers conversion away from Islam to be an act of rebellion against the state, and prosecutes the people who dare to convert accordingly. “Iran targets minorities one year after Mahsa Amini’s death, 69 Christians arrested,” AsiaNews, August 11, 2023 (thanks to Tom): Tehran (AsiaNews) – Iran arrested scores […]
Pakistani troops guard Christian area following brutal attacks over alleged Qur’an desecration
This is an example of what the West will be facilitating on its own soil if it continues down the path of appeasement over Qur’an desecrations. Bullying, violence, encroachment by Muslims will escalate further in the face of Western fear and appeasement. Note that “residents said that thousands of Muslims led by local muslim priests […]
Just before massive anti-Christian riots, Pakistan increased already harsh punishments for blasphemy
The move endorses the persecution of Christians, who are the main targets of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, and will intensify that persecution. Such laws ensure that Christians remain an inferior class in Pakistani society. Whenever a Muslim accuses a Christian of blasphemy, the accused is persecuted by the state and hunted by mobs. Yet many of […]
Pakistan: Muslims set fire to a total of 21 churches and 40 Christian homes on accusations of blasphemy by Christian
No religious minority is safe in Pakistan. “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60) Meanwhile, 129 Muslims have been arrested, but it is unlikely that there will be a serious or […]
Pakistan: Christian accused of blaspheming Qur’an, Muslim mob ransacks and burns churches and Christian homes
Just the accusation is enough. No proof is needed. This is what would be happening in Sweden and Denmark these days if there were sufficient numbers present to form such mobs. Muslim mob screaming "Allahu akbar" destroys church over alleged blasphemy by Christian. This is happening all over Faisalabad. The mob pays particular attention to […]
Pakistan: Muslims drag pastor out of church during service and beat him with rifle butts
You would hear about this all over the establishment media if the roles were reversed, which they would not be and should not be. But you will likely hear about this only here. “Updates on the Persecuted Church – August 8, 2023,” Barnabas Aid, August 8, 2023: …A pastor in Peshawar, Pakistan, suffered injuries to […]
Nigeria: Christians say murderous jihadis have the support of the ‘high and mighty’ in top government positions
This would certainly explain why the government never does anything effective to stop the jihadis. “’We are on our own’: Christians in Nigeria Convinced Soldiers Working with Islamists,” by Agnes Aineah, ACI Africa, August 2, 2023: An incident that happened recently in Riyom Local Government Area of Nigeria’s Plateau State where Fr. George Barde had […]
Sudan: Rapid Support Forces convert cathedral into command center, attack and loot other churches
The unbelievers among the people of the book, that is, the Jews and Christians who do not become Muslims, are “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6). What rights do they have that Muslims must respect? “Christians who remain in Sudan face grave danger,” by Felipe d’Avillez and Maria Lozano, Aid to the Church […]
Mozambique: Muslims abduct two fishermen, behead the Christian, free the Muslim
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when a Muslim in Minnesota in 2016 asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. In Uganda in June 2023, Muslims murdered 42 people at a school after asking for Muslims among students, saying they didn’t kill […]
Uganda: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ accuse Christian preacher of blasphemy, beat him unconscious
They didn’t like the fact that he was using the Qur’an and hadiths to preach Christianity. They didn’t accuse him of misquoting them, they just didn’t like the idea of anyone using these materials from anything except the standpoint of a true believer. “Pastor Beaten Unconscious while Speaking at Funeral,” Morning Star News, August 1, […]
