Christian Persecution: A Worldwide Horror Story That's Growing in Frequency and Intensity, Part VII

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

I'm going to start this article with this quote from an article I read some time in the past. However, I didn't link it, nor do remember who said it, but I think it's a good start to this piece, so I'm going to use it as it outlines what's going on in general all over the world. 

For decades, evangelical Christianity championed Israel and religious freedom. As a result, it often found itself clashing with supremacist strands of Islam. Deep concern over Christian persecution largely in Muslim-majority countries post-Soviet collapse fueled wariness of political Islam's aggressive forms. 

Recently, things have begun to shift. Some evangelical institutions in the US have begun to embrace woke ideologies, softening their stance on Islamism. Meanwhile, as evangelicalism wanes in the U.S. it is surging in the global south. There, Christians face radical Islam head-on, and staunchly pro-Israel positions remain in the ascendant. This shift is shaping new dynamics. In Iran, for example, evangelicals are quietly building the underground church's strength, and hoping for the fall of the regime. 

What is Islam all about?  The moral foundation of Islam and leftism is identical.  Hate, greed, envy, lust, violence, and the desire to attain absolute power in order to control everyone's life. In Islam that manifests itself in practices such as mass murder, rape, and violence of every sort, along with "practices such as child marriage, honour killings, female genital mutilation,all of which are rooted in doctrine, not cultural misunderstandings."   

• Islam and the Children: What the Doctrine Demands, and What the West Is Ignoring.  - This article details how Islamic doctrine impacts children, both in Islamic societies and in the West. Drawing from primary Islamic texts — including the Koran, Hadith, and Reliance of the Traveller — it shows how children are expected to begin religious practices by age 7, are beaten by age 10 if they resist, and may be denied secular education. Practices such as child marriage, honour killings, and female genital mutilation are shown to be rooted in doctrine, not cultural misunderstandings.

It documents real-world consequences: the child martyrs of Gaza, the enslavement of Yazidi girls, the denial of education for Afghan girls, and the systemic rape of non-Muslim children by grooming gangs in the West. Meanwhile, Western children are being softened up through Islamic rituals disguised as cultural inclusion — kneeling in mosques, fasting for Ramadan, and celebrating ‘world hijab day’ in classrooms.

This article isn't just going to discuss the horrors Islam is perpetuating on humanity, it will link articles as source pieces, from Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.  This is a horror story that's worldwide, and growing.   Nearly 400 million Christians are being persecuted globally, with Islam and leftism, in all it's manifestations, as the driving forces for these horrors.  And Western civilization is either being silent, or actually in cooperation with this outrages.  

Raymond Ibrahim tracks this at his website on a monthly basis, and here's what happened in in February 2025.  In the Democratic Republic of Congo, which isn't democratic or a republic, seventy Christians, men, women and children were “tied up and decapitated with knives.”  

In Egypt young Christian girls are being kidnapped and being trafficked and the police do nothing.  Muslims are setting fire to churches, with the official position is these are "natural occurrences", and in Pakistan "a Muslim man twice abducted a married Christian mother of three children, raped her, fraudulently converted her to Islam, and fabricated an Islamic marriage.   Christians are abducted, humiliated and accused of crimes with no relief from authorizes.  

In France a Muslim immigrant imprisoned and murdered...the word used  slaughtered three Christians in a church in Nice.  In Spain “Islamic State terrorist organisation is threatening to attack Catholic cathedrals in Spain, in an organized and open attempt to destroy Christianity in Europe, which is also being done in Syria.

In Indonesian Muslims attack Christians demanding the rejection of Christian worship in their community, but that's nothing compared to the nightmare Christians face in Nigeria which is being called '“pure genocide” with Muslim terrorists “leaving a trail of bloodshed, destruction and despair”.  In Uganda a Christian evangelist was beaten and stabbed for leading "a 75-year-old Muslim widow known as Hasifa to Christ', all in public.  

‘Red Wednesday’ events to be held in over 20 countries to raise awareness of Christian - Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), an international Catholic charity, is organizing hundreds of activities in more than 20 countries for Red Wednesday, which is on November 20 this year. 

 

The global event aims at raising awareness of Christian persecution and religious freedom issues throughout the world. Initially a single day of solidarity, marked by illuminating churches and secular buildings in red, it has grown into extended initiatives in some areas, such as “Red Week” or “Red November,” featuring prayer vigils, testimonies, conferences, and exhibitions. Next week’s event is marked by the release of the 2024 edition of Persecuted & Forgotten?, a report highlighting conditions for Christians in 18 countries where persecution is severe. 

 

According to the report, most of these nations have seen conditions worsen or remain unchanged. ACN USA presented the report at the USCCB Plenary Assembly on November 12, encouraging U.S. bishops to support “Courage in Faith Week,” an initiative inviting bishops to advocate for persecuted Christians, offer Masses for martyrs, and engage their parishes in solidarity. 

Thousands of Christians Killed and Imprisoned for for Their Faith in 2024, Report Reveals In 2024, 4,476 Christians were murdered around the globe because of their beliefs. Another 4,744 were imprisoned. Over 7,670 churches and Christian properties were attacked, too.  Those numbers are reported by Open Doors—a global ministry dedicated to serving persecuted believers—which has released its 2025 World Watch List. The annual report reveals the top 50 countries where Christians are most likely to face severe consequences for their faith, from the loss of homes and jobs to imprisonment and death.

History is everything, and here are the articles I've been storing going back to some time which lays historical foundation for all that's discussed.

It's a fact Christianity is no longer the foundational religious or social paradigm of Europe.  In Ireland the government froze a Christian teacher's bank account after he refused to use gender neutral pronouns, and not only did they freeze them, they planned to seize them, and any other assets he may own, as directed by their courts.  How can this in any way be considered legal?
