Persecution of Christians by Muslims

[Black Orchid]

While those in the American media have long lamented the (alleged) post-9/11 rise in “Islamophobia,” they have ratcheted up the hysteria since the election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency.

That this template is Fake News is understood readily enough when the histrionics over “Islamophobia” are seen against the backdrop of the global reality of the anti-Christian oppression to which countless numbers of men, women, and children are routinely subjected—mostly by Muslims.

Open Doors, a ministry that serves persecuted Christians around the world, reports that 11 Christians die every single day for their commitment to Christ. And of the ten most dangerous places on Earth to be a Christian, eight are Islamic.

In Afghanistan, neither Christianity nor any other religion other than Islam is legal. Those Muslims who dare to convert to Christianity are seen as traitors to their families, tribes, and nation. Either that, or their abandonment of Islam is viewed as proof of mental instability, in which case these converts, when found out, may be institutionalized in psychiatric facilities and their homes and property confiscated or destroyed.

More often than not, Christians and converts to Christianity are murdered.

Somalia is 99% Muslim. The Christian minority that exists in this African land consists almost exclusively of Muslim converts. According to Open Doors, the violent, murderous persecution of Christians—and it is almost entirely murderously violent—is so intense that this organization which is committed to ministering to oppressed Christians the world over couldn’t even publish specific illustrations of the violence for security purposes.

Libya is the fourth most hostile country for Christians. After the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, Islamic militants seized control of various parts of Libya—a turn of events that has had tragic consequences for the country’s Christian population. Open Doors: “The level of violence against Christians in Libya is very high, and Christians in Libya are subjected to violent, inhumane and degrading treatment.”

What’s worse is that those Muslims who have converted to Christianity are endangered by their family members.

Islamic-dominated Pakistan is not much more pleasant for its Christian population. Pakistan has blasphemy laws which make it a capital crime to abandon Islam and convert to Christianity. Asia Bibi is the most notable example of one such Pakistani who was convicted under these laws. Bibi, a wife and mother, spent a decade on death row after being found guilty of being a Christian. Courtesy of international pressure, she was finally acquitted of this charge and released from prison. Yet nevertheless, to this day, she remains imperiled.

However, perhaps Asia Bibi should consider herself fortunate, for there are approximately 700 Pakistani women and children who are abducted, raped, and forced to marry their Muslim captors so that they will convert to Islam.

Churches are routinely bombed and work that is regarded as demeaning is reserved for Christians, with some Christians being so unfortunate as to be locked into bonded-labor.

Sudan is the sixth most dangerous place for Christians. Christians (and other non-Muslims) are severely limited with respect to liberties, like liberties regarding the exercise of speech, of which members of the Islamic majority can readily avail themselves. Christians are arrested because of their faith, and churches have been demolished. As in the preceding countries, those who have converted to Christianity from Islam are particularly vulnerable to persecution. Such is the awfulness of the treatment to which they are subjected that Christian parents take measures to ensure that their children will not be exposed as Christian.

There is a reason why Eritrea has earned the reputation of being “Africa’s North Korea.” Upon conducting house raids, government agents have arrested and imprisoned scores of Christians because of their faith. Open Doors characterizes the conditions under which these Christians have been incarcerated as “inhumane.” Indeed, for Christians have been held, in paralyzing heat, in shipping containers.

The oppression has been driving Christians out of Eritrea to other places where they are seeking asylum.

The civil war that has been transpiring in Yemen has made life in this Islamic-dominated land that much more formidable for its Christian minority. Most of the humanitarian relief supplied to victims of the war has been distributed via Islamic institutions that discriminate in favor of Muslims. So not only are Christians being denied the aid that they need, but they are as well being detained by authorities and targeted by their neighbors and family members for having converted from Islam to Christianity.

Iran remains one of the planet’s most hostile spots for Christians. The citizens of Iran are legally prohibited from converting to and preaching Christianity. Just this past December, 100 Christians were arrested within a single week. As of this moment, there is one particular pastor, Yousef Nardarkhani, who is serving a 10-year sentence in an Iranian prison for threatening “national security” by being a Christian.

Although it didn’t make it to Open Doors’ “World Watch” list of the 10 most inhospitable places for Christians, the Congo is no safe space for the followers of Jesus. Very recently, over a four hour span of time, Islamic militants, upon pretending to be security officers, opened fire upon the residents of the predominantly Christian village of Kalau. The indiscriminate shooting forced nearly 500 Christian families to abandon their homes. Six people, however, weren’t so fortunate, as they were murdered.

The dead included three women and a 9 year-old child.

Over the last five years, it is estimated that these same Islamic militants—members of the “Allied Democratic Forces” (ADF)—have murdered roughly 700 civilians and 20 United Nations peacekeepers.

Bearing these gruesome instances of anti-Christian oppression in mind, hopefully the next time the American media prattle on about the supposed “rise” of “Islamophobia” in America (and Europe), we will recognize it for the Fake News that it is.

YOu...you..you islamophobic...you..you

Seriously the infestation of islam just rolls on...and nothing is said about the murder of non islamic people....
Not a word...
4,136 christians were killed last year...wheres the outcry....
1,266 churches were attacked last year...wheres the outcry....

Eleven Christians are killed each day for their faith, yet if one homosexual or adulterer is stoned it's blasted all over. Strange priorities there. In addition six women are raped everyday, sexually harassed or forced into marriage to a Muslim man under the threat of death for their Christian faith.

1,266 Churches were attacked last year and this year it's worse. In addition thousands of Christians were detained without trial, arrested, sentenced and imprisoned.

Most of the nations where Christians face persecution are Islamic, especially if they follow Sharia law. This year surprisingly India joined the group since they believe to be Indian is to be Hindu. Also Russia an Orthodox country has joined the list, since Christians are persecuted in the Islamic areas of the country.

Last year, Christians were persecuted more than ever before in the modern era — and this year is expected to be worse: 215 million Christians faced persecution in 2018, 245 million will suffer in 2019.

Arabic-speaking youths were caught on video assaulting and stabbing a homeless Berlin man is speculated in the German press to be an anti-Christian motivated attack.

The video shows two Arabic-speaking young men verbally harassing a homeless man at a Berlin u-bahn (metro) station with all three of the men coming from an Arabic background, according to police. It is suspected that the motive may have been related to the homeless 29-year-old being Christian, Berliner Zeitung reports.

After physically attacking the victim, one of the men then drew a knife and stabbed him several times, leaving him with severe injuries to the buttocks, thigh, and arm, according to investigators.

Berliner Zeitung claims to have played the shocking footage to two Arabic speakers who translated the attackers’ words as, “We f*ck your sister, we’ll finish you!” and then they went on to say, “Your pig-God, we f *ck your pig-God!”

The newspaper claims that the incident is not the first in which a migrant-background Christian has been physically attacked by Arabic-speaking young men for displaying Christian symbols in public in the German capital.

Recently, a 39-year-old had been beaten for wearing a necklace with a cross on it. In the district of Neukölln, a homosexual man had also been beaten for wearing a cross, claiming attackers had shouted anti-Christian and homophobic slurs at him during the incident.

A spokesman for the Hayat Germany organisation which helps people leave the radical Islamist scene claimed that there was a general hostility amongst radicals to Christians, Jews, and even anger towards Christian holidays and festivals…
