Persecution against Christians never ends in Turkey
How do Christian families, most of whom are descendants of the survivors of the 1913-23 Christian genocide, continue to survive in Turkey?

“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, and others beside them whom you do not know.” (Qur’an 8:60) “‘Terrorists in helicopter’ kill 32, shell houses, church in Southern Kaduna,” by Saxone Akhaine, Guardian (Nigeria), […]
Nigeria: Muslims storm church and open fire, murder at least 28 Christians, injure dozens
Once again, this is a near-daily occurrence in Nigeria that is met with international indifference. The media narrative is that Muslims are always and in every circumstances victims, and that Christians are white oppressors. Stories of this kind don’t fit the narrative and are accordingly ignored. “Alert: Nigeria state lawmaker says dozens feared dead after […]

A Muslim mob in Warji, Bauchi, Nigeria failed to get its violent hands on the target of their lynching efforts: a 40-year-old Christian woman accused of blasphemy on social media.

Uganda: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ cut bishop with knives, other Muslims burn church
The bishop had been debating Muslims for four days before he was attacked. The attack was one way for the Muslims to drive their point home that some of them evidently found more effective than tactic involving reason and rhetoric. “Two Christians Killed in Church Burning in Uganda,” Morning Star News, May 10, 2022: NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning […]
Nigeria: Muslims attack cathedral, partially burn church, bishop says ‘This has nothing to do with religion’
Right. And I’m the Sarkin Zongo of Kumasi. It would be interesting to see Kukah try to explain exactly how this has nothing to do with religion. The Muslim mob didn’t burn mosques. Why did it target a cathedral and a church? Why was Deborah Samuel killed in the first place? “Catholic cathedral attacked in […]
Nigeria: Last words revealed of Christian woman Muslims burned alive for ‘blasphemy’
“What do you hope to achieve with this?,” Deborah Samuel asked. The answer is clear: they hoped to frighten Christians into never daring to say anything remotely critical or negative to Muslims about anything in any context, for fear that their words would be interpreted as “blasphemy.” They hoped to intimidate Christians into submission, just […]
