Islamophobia - or - Genocide by Muslims

By Rich Kozlovich

I keep seeing the Biden administration and most of the world's leaders whining about Islamophobia, yet what we keep seeing is just the opposite.  Islamic efforts at genocide. Christians, Hindus, or anyone who isn't a Muslim, including Muslims of different sects, because each sect considers the other to be heretics, and the Koran command heretics, or even those who convert to another faith to be killed.

And we're told to celebrate diversity!

In India Muslim students sexually harasses Hindu student, Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’.

On April 15, Hindu and Muslim students at a college in Anand in Gujarat clashed after Hindu students objected to eve-teasing by a Muslim student. As per reports, when Hindu students stopped a Muslim student from eve teasing, he brought his friends and started fighting. The Muslim students also raised ‘Allahu Akbar’ slogans on the college premises. The incident took place in the commerce college of Anand.

Except in China where the CCP is Murdering Uyghur Muslims, and the most of the Muslim world is just fine with that, what we're seeing around the world are Muslims abusing everyone else, not the reverse, including forced conversions of Christians.  Poor defenseless people in fear of their lives, and any criticism of these crimes against humanity are called Islamophobia.  

There was no Holocaust, and Israel must be destroyed according to this Muslim woman.  In Burkina Faso forty people including six soldiers were killed by Muslims.  In England a Muslim man stabbed his wife to death because she didn't think he should take a second wife.  

Now why would that generate fear of Islam? 

A phobia is an "unnatural fear", but is fear of Islam unnatural?  Certainly not for Jews, which makes me wonder at those nutty leftist Jews who side with Islam against Israel.  Islam wants Israel destroyed.  If, or when that happens, Jihad will come after those Jews who supported them.  And that's true of everyone else in the world. 

The fact is, Israel is Fighting the World’s War, and it is a world war, a religious world war being perpetrated by Muslims.  We have 1400 years of Islamic history that shows Islam really does need to be feared, and that fear isn't unnatural.  

There's no such thing as Islamophobia, because that fear is a phobia, and unnatural fear.  Fear of Islam is thoroughly justified.  It's history, and that history is incontestable.

The Unspoken Genocide of Christians in Nigeria

The black lives that don’t matter.

Did you know that, all throughout sub-Saharan Africa—in Nigeria, Mozambique, the Central African Republic, Mali, the Democratic Republic of Congo—Muslims have for many years been terrorizing and slaughtering Christians? Nor is there any hope on the horizon: problems that cannot be honestly addressed are doomed to persist in perpetuity. Enter the so-called “mainstream media.” As far as they are concerned, the persecution of Christians in Africa is a byproduct of economic and territorial grievances.

One report, titled, “How poverty and corruption fuel terrorism across Africa,” is emblematic.  After citing  an incident where “jihadis” connected to the Islamic State slaughtered dozens, it insists that such terrorist attacks, which  “are on the rise across the African continent,” are “a consequence of poverty, domestic grievances new and old…”  This has been the mainstream media’s argument, and they’re sticking to it — no matter all the mountains of contradictory evidence.

Take the little-known genocide of Christians in Nigeria. According to an August 2021 report, since the Islamic insurgency began in earnest in July 2009, more than 60,000 Christians have either been murdered during raids or abducted, never to be seen again. During this same timeframe, approximately 20,000 churches and Christian schools were torched and destroyed by “Allahu Akbar” screaming Muslims.  According to the World Watch List’s latest reporting, 79 percent of all Christians killed for their faith were killed in Nigeria, for a total of 4,650.............

  • 1: Muslim Fulani herdsmen hacked to death with machetes six Christians.
  • 11: Muslims murdered a Christian while abducting a pastor and wounding his wife.
  • 18: Muslim Fulani killed three Christians during a raid on a Christian village, “after slaughtering at least 22 others in the same area in the past three weeks.”
  • 21: More machete-wielding Muslim herdsmen massacred 15 Christians in midnight raids on two Christian villages.
  • 23: Muslim Fulani raided six predominantly Christian villages in the same region of Benue state. “These attacks by the herdsmen have left dozens of Christians dead and several more with gunshot injuries and machete attack wounds,” an area resident said.
  • 17: During an all-night prayer vigil inside a church, Muslim Fulani broke in and abducted dozens of Christians. Less than one week earlier, 60 other Christians were abducted from the same denomination in another region of the country.
  • 4: Gunmen kidnapped dozens of Christians from church, including the pastor’s son.

Responding to these and other attacks, a recent statement from the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union said, There is still no breathing space for Christian communities … as terrorists, jihadists, bandits and armed herdsmen have continued to plunder and wreck Christian communities…To Read More...

Inside the Horror of Islamic Sex Slavery - and the Real War on Women

Tue Aug 9, 2022 Mark Tapson 11 comments

Last week marked the seventh annual commemoration of the Yazidi genocide, though you wouldn’t know it from watching establishment media. Nor would you know that there is an ongoing genocide of Christians taking place in Nigeria, nor that throughout the Islamic world countless women and girls are enduring kidnapping, forced marriages, forced conversions of Christians to Islam, genocidal rape, and/or widespread sex trafficking even in countries that are supposedly our allies in the War on Terror.

To keep abreast of these crises, one needs to seek out the work of such concerned journalists as the Freedom Center’s own Raymond Ibrahim or Dutch journalist Sonja Dahlmans, who work desperately to bring international attention to the plight of the victims of an actual war on women.

I recently interviewed Ms. Dahlmans about these issues. She currently writes (in Dutch only) for the conservative political news site PAL NWS, and is studying Islam at the Melbourne School of Theology, where she will be starting her thesis.

Muslims Slaughter 20 Nigerian Christians in ‘Retaliation’ For Western Actions

The Islamic terrorist’s "blame game."

Raymond Ibrahim Jul 26, 2022 

 

Last May, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (“ISIS”) published a video of the execution of about 20 Christian civilians in Nigeria.  As with many other such ISIS-type videos, the terrorists stood behind their bound and kneeling victims, before knocking them over and carving their heads off to cries of “Allahu Akbar.”

Before doing so, one of the masked Muslims, speaking in the Hausa language, said that the execution of these Christians was “to avenge the killing of the group’s leaders in the Middle East earlier in 2022.”  This is apparently a reference to ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi—a man with a reputation for extreme brutality—who was killed last February during an airborne raid by U.S. and Kurdish forces in northwestern Syria.

The reader may be pondering how impoverished Christian civilians in Nigeria are connected to or responsible for the activities of U.S. and Kurdish forces in Syria.  The fact is, Muslim terrorists are notorious for offering any number of pretexts—many of which border on the absurd—to justify their cowardly targeting and murdering of the Christian minorities in their midst............Muslims Slaughter 20 Nigerian Christians

Turkey Seeks to Bury the ‘Current Byzantines’

July 5, 2022 By Raymond Ibrahim

On May 29, 2022 in Istanbul and other cities in Turkey, elaborate celebrations were held to commemorate the 569th anniversary of the Islamic conquest of Constantinople in 1453.  During these neo-Ottoman celebrations, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declared that “As our ancestors buried Byzantium, let us hope that today, by building our vision for 2053, we also manage to put in the time warp of history the current Byzantines who are plotting against us.”

In order to understand the troubling significance of this otherwise cryptic remark -- most Westerners are today totally unaware of the history between Muslim Turkey and Christian Byzantium -- some background is necessary.

Towards the end of the first millennium, the Turks, whose origins lay in the steppes of Asia, had become Muslim and began to raid and conquer portions of Asia Minor, which was then and had been for a millennium Greek and Christian.  By the end of the 14th century they had conquered it entirely and began eying Constantinople, just across the Bosporus.  Although generations of Turks repeatedly besieged it, it would fall to Muhammad II (or “Mehmet”), Erdogan’s hero............Turkey Seeks to Bury the ‘Current Byzantines’

Nigeria: Muslims seek out and murder two Christians and two Muslims they didn’t think were Islamic enough

May 2, 2021 By

When jihadis kill fellow Muslims, Western analysts use the murders to argue that the jihadis aren’t really Islamic at all. The Islamic State West Africa Province, however, offers a different explanation for why it kills Muslims: “We are fighting unbelievers; Christians and any other person or group going against the teaching of Islam.............

Around 2,000 residents of Geidam fled their homes after members of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) took control of the town, looting and burning stores. “Everybody is running away because the insurgents have started killing people who are Christians and those with Western education,” said a resident.  “So far they have killed two Christians and two Muslim school teachers. They went to their homes and slaughtered them,” said another local.......To Read More.....

How the ‘Evil Called Barack Obama’ Enabled the Genocide of Nigerian Christians

April 21, 2020 By Raymond Ibrahim

Not only is Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari behind what several international observers are calling a “genocide” of Christians in his nation, but Barack Hussein Obama played a major role in the Muslim president’s rise to power. These two interconnected accusations are increasingly being made -- not by “xenophobic” Americans but Nigerians themselves, including several leaders and officials.

Most recently, Femi Fani-Kayode, Nigeria’s former minister of culture and tourism, wrote in a Facebook post:
What Obama, John Kerry and Hilary Clinton did to Nigeria by funding and supporting Buhari in the 2015 presidential election and helping Boko Haram in 2014/2015 was sheer wickedness and the blood of all those killed by the Buhari administration, his Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram over the last 5 years are on their hands.
Kerry’s and Clinton’s appeasement of Boko Haram -- an Islamic terror organization notorious for massacring, enslaving, and raping Christians, and bombing and burning their churches -- is apparently what connects them to this “sheer wickedness.”.........


Fani-Kayode and Barlow are not alone in accusing Obama of “heavily supporting” and “actually funding” a presidential candidate who, since becoming president, has been increasingly accused of turning a blind eye to -- when not giving active support, which included jet fighters -- the worsening slaughter of Christians at the hands of Muslims in his nation. In 2018, former president Jonathan revealed,..........

Based on all these developments, statistics and accusations, it seems clear that the Muslim president is behind the unfolding genocide of Christians in Nigeria -- and Obama helped......To Read More....

The Left is Insane! There Can Be No Other Explanation!

By Rich Kozlovich

This series of articles are meant to drive home this one incontrovertible fact - everything the left promotes and implements are irrational, misanthropic and morally defective – a reality that's hidden by seemingly humanitarian rhetoric.  The left keeps changing itself into an angel of light, but the proof of who they are and what they do is in the outcome. 

We have over two hundred and twenty five years of history, starting with the French Revolution, to show just how monstrously insane the left is.  The outcome of all leftist policies has been a disaster for humanity, and the hated western world founded on Judaic/Christian principles of individual rights and responsibilities is the left’s primary target. 

We need to understand this once and for all:  The left will adopt any philosophy that will gain them power!  Why?  Because unlike the Judaic/Christian world the left has no moral foundation giving them the ability to shift directions 180 degrees if it gains them power and money.   The end consequence to those they previously and supposedly supported are immaterial to the left, whether those policies involved race, intolerance, the environment, justice or economics.  They use whatever or whomever they can to gain the one thing that is their one and only morality – gain power at any cost – while using our own values against us!  

The socialist monsters of the 20th century, including Mao, Stalin, Castro, Hitler, Pot Pol and others murdered over 100 million innocent people in the 20th century.  The spear point of modern socialism since the fall of the Soviet Union has been environmentalism, and an argument can easily be made they've killed over 100 million innocent people in the world via their anti-pesticide policies alone.  That doesn't even count the numbers of people who've suffered due to their policies on climate change, genetically modified foods and a host of other positions. 

Dystopia follows the left - in all of it's manifestations -  like the plague follows rats.  The left is insane and Obama is the foremost example of that insanity.

The Obama administration wants to let in a large number of Syrian refugees.  It varies from 10,000 to 100,000, but since the truth is not in our president, those are probably just waypoints to an unlimited migration from the Middle East – i.e., the numbers are gruberfacts, chum for the chumps. Liberals, which means the Democratic Party, are wailing about the responsibility America has to welcome these refugees, driven from their homes by the winds of war.  We are a nation of immigrants, and it is our duty to welcome this next wave.  If we don't, we are bigots.  We know a lot about liberals.  They give things away.  They are so concerned with whatever problem they identify that they are passionate about giving away what you have built to, as they think, deal with it…… They never expect to see any of these refugees.  They are going to be somewhere else while they congratulate themselves on their open-mindedness……. Liberalism can liquidate a society.  It cannot build one…….[the West’s culture has been built on] 3,500 years in terms of Judaism – i.e., the Ten Commandments;over 2,000 years in terms of Christianity;………Islam is alien to that culture.  It is based on dominance, not equality, within society and aggression toward and death for nonbelievers……  

On Friday, the U.S. Justice Department filed a 35-page petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review Texas v. U.S., the case filed by 26 states against President Obama’s immigration amnesty plan. The government is appealing a preliminary injunction that stopped implementation of Obama’s amnesty plan, which was issued by a federal district court and upheld by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Nov. 9....

The "Leading From Behind" Failure, By John C. Velisek USN Ret
The United States under the leadership of this President has lost the will to win. Instead we are giving in to the political correctness of those in leadership positions, allowing Islamic terrorism to spread and gain footholds in many different areas of the world including our own country. This administration has ignored this spread, leaving an opening to the vulnerability of attacks here in our country.  Not being willing to take on the Islamic State and all other organizations of radical Islamic terrorism has lead to the expansion of radical Jihad, and allowed recruiting to expand because they know that the United States who should be a world leader is “leading from behind” which means no leadership at all. By our actions we are condoning the premise that Islamic Terrorism is a form of political expression, and that our nation under this President will continue to make excuses for the deaths of innocent citizens. It will come here, and it will be caused by the ideological shortcomings of this President and this Administration……

Nonie Darwish: Will Obama Go Away After the 2016 Elections?
President Obama started his presidency with a lack of confidence in America as an exceptional nation bringing hope and goodness to the world. He mocked Christians, the Bible and those who support the Second Amendment even as far back as 2006. In the meantime, he shamelessly defended Islam with every fiber of his being, even after horrific acts of Islamic terrorism on Americans. Both abroad and internally, Obama never demanded an apology from his attorney general, Erick Holder, when he reprimanded America as “a nation of cowards.”  The feelings of lack of confidence are now mutual, not only on Obama’s side towards..

List of Refugee Jihadis Secretly Arrested in America, By Pamela Geller Obama’s immigration jihad to expedite Muslim refugees from jihad wars has gone into high gear in the wake of the Paris Islamic attacks.  Mind you, there was no urgency for the hundreds of thousands of Christians who were subsequently slaughtered by devout Muslims in their war to impose Islam across Syria, Iraq, Lebanon etc. At the end of 2011, the international arm of my organization, SION, called for emergency asylum for Christians and religious minorities trying to escape Islamic supremacists genocide. Nothing was done. Obama stood by while wholesale slaughter took place.Now he wants to bring the perps of genocide.Obama deceitfully accuses the GOP of giving refugees a “religious test.” It was the jihadists that gave..

US government officially closes its eyes to genocide against ME Christians, By Carol Brown
The Obama administration is pulling out all the stops to deny Christians in the Middle East any relief from their horrific plight. The door to the United States has been closed using an obscure bureaucratic angle that withholds recognition of official refugee status for Christians fleeing ISIS. And now an unnamed State Department representative has signaled that Middle Eastern Christians may be excluded from an official declaration of genocide. Per a report at NRO, Yazidis will be officially recognized as victims of genocide. And rightfully so. But Christians are not slated to be. And while this may seem like meaningless bureaucratic garbage compared to the reality that is unfolding in the Middle East, the implications are significant.  First, it would continue to render invisible the genocide that is being committed against Christians in the Middle East. There are no words to describe this disgrace, but sin comes to mind. For an overview of the savagery that has been, and continues to be, inflicted upon Christians in the Middle East, see the short summary of part of NRO article, below…..

Muslims have driven Christians out of their lands. Enslaved them. Forcibly converted them to Islam. Murdered them. But the Obama administration’s anti-Christian animus is so deep and thoroughgoing that Obama has refused to meet with victims of the Muslim persecution of Christians, and now the administration refuses to designate this persecution of Christians a genocide. “This is not an academic matter. A genocide designation would have significant policy implications for American efforts to restore property and lands taken from the minority groups and for offers of aid, asylum, and other protections to such victims
. Worse, it would mean that, under the Genocide Convention, the United States and other governments would not be......

Bill limiting Gitmo transfers may be unconstitutional, Obama says, By Pamela Geller

Sweden. The ‘(Humanitarian) Superpower’, Overwhelmed, by Andrew Stuttaford
Sweden’s political elite have liked to boast that their country is a ‘humanitarian superpower’, a boast that has quite a bit to do with years of immigration policies that have made no sense to anyone with the slightest sense of how the world works. Reality is now biting. Hard,…… Meanwhile, some polls have shown that the SD, a party with barely more than a handful of supporters a decade ago, is now Sweden’s largest. Maybe, maybe not, but even Sifo, probably Sweden’s best-known pollster is giving them 17.6 percent, a figure that, because of respondents’ unwillingness to admit to SD sympathies, may understate the ‘real’ total.

Skin, Skin,Nothing but Skin, by Jay Nordlinger
For years on end, we’ve heard about “white privilege.” If you’re white in America, your life is supposed to be nothing but cotton candy, pretty prom dates, glowing health, and riches. A cloud never crosses your sky. In recent weeks, the cries of “White privilege!” have grown louder. True, it’s easier to belong to a racial majority than to a racial minority — or at least it is in most cases. Black people have coped with any number of obstacles and slights in this country, well after Jim Crow (to say nothing of slavery)…….. But lives are lived individually, aren’t they? Rather than in groups? Years ago, I worked briefly for a man who seemed to be a classic one-percenter. He was employed in a prestigious law firm and had been to the best schools: Princeton, Oxford, and Harvard, I believe, and in that order. One day, I asked him about his earlier life. And my eyes widened as he talked…….

Molenbeek: A Troubled Neighborhood in a Failing State, by Andrew Stuttaford
In the course of a post last weekend, I linked to a bleak piece in Politico about Molenbeek, a Brussels neighborhood that has come into sharp focus after it emerged that some of the Paris attackers came from there.……I witnessed the neighborhood become increasingly intolerant. Alcohol became unavailable in most shops and supermarkets; I heard stories of fanatics at the Comte des Flandres metro station who pressured women to wear the veil; Islamic bookshops proliferated, and it became impossible to buy a decent newspaper. With an unemployment rate of 30 percent, the streets were eerily empty until late in the morning. Nowhere was there a bar or café where white, black and brown people would mingle. Instead, I witnessed petty crime, aggression, and frustrated youths who spat at our girlfriends and called them “filthy whores.” If you made a remark, you were inevitably scolded and called a racist. There used to be Jewish shops on Chaussée de Gand, but these were terrorized by gangs of young kids and most closed their doors around 2008. Openly gay people were routinely intimidated, and also packed up their bags.……Brussels’ Socialists were beginning to pay attention to the city’s Muslim community. Noting that half of the Socialist Party’s 26-member slate in the city’s 75-seat parliament was then Muslim, I wrote as follows:

There’s nothing wrong with that in principle (in fact as a measure of integration it can be seen as encouraging), but to read this sentence is to wonder who, exactly, is integrating whom: “ In the commune of Molenbeek, longstanding Socialist mayor Philippe Moureaux has made Halal meals standard in all schools; police officers are also barred from eating or drinking on the streets during Ramadan.” Fast forward nine years, and Teun Voeten, the cultural anthropologist and war photographer who is the author of the Politico piece, wrote this:……..

Belgium is not that much of a nation……it is both host and, in some senses, prototype for the post-national EU is both appropriate and a warning.

Islamist War on Christians

Each time Islamists murder Christians, the media treat it as an isolated episode.
By Lee Habeeb
I'm waiting. I am a Lebanese Christian, and I am waiting. Waiting for CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, or Time magazine to really tell the story. To finally run this headline: “War on Christians Being Waged by Islamists.”
I’m waiting for someone in the mainstream media to admit the facts.
Matt Lauer and NBC News made headlines when they declared there was a civil war in Iraq in 2006, putting them at odds with the narrative coming from the Bush White House.
Islamists are persecuting and murdering Christians all over the world. Where in the world are Matt Lauer and NBC News? Do they not want to be at odds with the narrative coming from the current occupants of the White House, which downplays the atrocities being perpetrated by Muslims against Christians? Or to be at odds with Muslim groups like CAIR, which might accuse NBC of some kind of bias?.....To Read More….

A Global Slaughter of Christians, but America’s Churches Stay Silent

Sep 27, 2013
Christians in the Middle East and Africa are being slaughtered, tortured, raped, kidnapped, beheaded, and forced to flee the birthplace of Christianity. One would think this horror might be consuming the pulpits and pews of American churches. Not so. The silence has been nearly deafening.
As Egypt’s Copts have battled the worst attacks on the Christian minority since the 14th century, the bad news for Christians in the region keeps coming. On Sunday, Taliban suicide bombers killed at least 85 worshippers at All Saints’ church, which has stood since 1883 in the city of Peshawar, Pakistan. Christians were also the target of Islamic fanatics in the attack on a shopping center in Nairobi, Kenya, this week that killed more than 70 people. The Associated Press reported that the Somali Islamic militant group al-Shabab “confirmed witness accounts that gunmen separated Muslims from other people and let the Muslims go free.” The captives were asked questions about Islam. If they couldn’t answer, they were shot.
In Syria, Christians are under attack by Islamist rebels and fear extinction if Bashar al-Assad falls. This month, rebels overran the historic Christian town of Maalula, where many of its inhabitants speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus. The AFP reported that a resident of Maalula called her fiancé’s cell and was told by member of the Free Syrian Army that they gave him a chance to convert to Islam and he refused. So they slit his throat.....To Read More....

Christians are being thrown to the lions again

By using the word 'martyr’, the Archbishop of Canterbury has highlighted the worsening persecution of believers taking place around the globe

By Peter Stanford 26 Sep 2013
Archbishop Justin Welby’s choice of the word “martyrs” to describe the 81 Pakistani Christians killed when their church in Peshawar was targeted by suicide bombers has raised eyebrows. It is the sort of language avoided nowadays in the secular, sceptical West, with its taken-for-granted religious freedoms, in case it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Yet in terms of Christian history the Archbishop of Canterbury’s description is surely accurate. These 81 worshippers at All Saints Anglican church, a 19th‑century colonial legacy in the Kohati Gate district of the city, died because they insisted last Sunday on practising their faith, as martyrs in all religions have done through the centuries.
In contrast to some of the more high-profile Christian martyrs, though, they were going about their religious practice quietly and without fuss, as befits a minority community of just 2.5 million (or 1.5 per cent) in a nation of 175 million that is overwhelmingly Muslim. They weren’t evangelising. They weren’t discussing missions to convert Muslims. And they weren’t falling foul of Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws. They were simply, in the archbishop’s words, “testifying to their faith in Jesus Christ by going to church”......To Read More......

Russian Patriarch to Obama: Syria’s Christians Nearing ‘Extermination’

The leader of Russia's 150 million Orthodox Christians begs the president not to give aid to Syrian jihadis.
By Raymond Ibrahim September 18, 2013
While many were fixated on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent letter to the American people, another letter from another Russian leader — this one directly addressed to the U.S. president — was missed.
On September 10, Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill issued a letter addressed to “His Excellency Mr. Barack Obama, President, United States.” Whether one wishes to interpret the letter as a product of politics or sincerity, it accurately highlights the plight of Syria’s Christians, especially in the context of a larger civilizational struggle.  I repost major portions of the letter below, interspersed with my observations for added context:

The Rape and Murder of Pakistan’s Christian Children

October 19, 2012 By Raymond Ibrahim, Tags: 
The West sighed in relief when Rimsha Masih, the 14-year-old Christian girl arrested in Pakistan on August 16 for allegedly burning pages of the Quran, was finally released.  Yet the West remains clueless concerning the graphic abuses—including rape and murder—Christian children in Pakistan routinely suffer, simply for being Christian.  Consider two stories alone, both of which occurred at the same time Rimsha’s blasphemy ordeal was making headlines around the world.
On August 14, another Christian girl, 12-year-old Muqadas Kainat (which means “Holy Universe”) was ambushed in a field near her home in Sahawil by five Muslim men who “gang raped and murdered” her.  At the time, her father was at a hospital visiting her sick mother.  He and other family members began a frantic search, until a tip led them to the field where his daughter’s body lay……she had been “gang raped and later strangled to death by five men.”  Police, as usual, did not arrest anyone.  As a Salem News report puts it, “Complicating matters is the fact that several Christian girls in this remote area have been raped and forced to both marry into the Muslim community and abandon their own religion. … [T]here is a history in this part of Pakistan according to the Christian community, of local authorities failing to investigate cases of rape or other violence against Christians, often for fear of influential Muslims or militants.”  To Read More.....

Muslim Persecution of Christians: August 2012


"We do not want infidels in this area"

By Raymond Ibrahim

Egypt: The nation's jihad organizations dropped leaflets calling on Muslims to kill Christians wherever they found them. Islamists in the Constituent Assembly demanded that the Coptic Church's funds be placed under state financial control.

While many people are regularly persecuted by Islam's blasphemy law, one particular case made August headlines: a 14-year-old Christian girl in Pakistan, Rimsha Masih, was arrested, accused of burning pages of a Quran. Rioting Muslims destroyed Christian homes and churches, tore Bibles to pieces and broke crosses, while calling for the death penalty against her. Because this story made it to the mainstream media, widespread international condemnation caused Pakistani authorities to release her recently, not by annulling Pakistan's blasphemy law, but by finding loopholes, from characterizing the girl as retarded—Islamic law does not mandate punishment for blasphemers if they are retarded—to the unprecedented exposure of a Muslim cleric who framed her…….
 

About this Series

Because the persecution of Christians in the Islamic world is on its way to reaching epidemic proportions, "Muslim Persecution of Christians" was developed to collate some—by no means all—of the instances of persecution that surface each month. It serves two purposes:
