Nigeria: 2,200 Christians Killed By Muslims In Ongoing Genocide

By Timothy Gamble

The ongoing genocide against Christians by Muslims in Nigeria increased sharply in 2020.  A new report by The International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) states that approximately 2,200 Nigerian Christians have been killed so far in 2020 by Fulani militants and Boko Haram (two Muslim groups) throughout the country. 

Over the last 20 years an estimated 55,000 to 75,000 Christians have been murdered in Nigeria because of their faith, according to several human rights groups, including Intersociety, the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), and International Christian Concern (ICC). Another 2 million have been displaced from their homes. Countless others have been injured. 

The Nigerian government has made little serious effort to address the ongoing genocide of Christians. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari is a Muslim who has expressed support in the past for the "total implementation of Sharia Law" in Nigeria, despite the country's population being almost evenly divided between Christians and Muslims.

Even though Christians are by far the most persecuted group of peoples in the world, persecution and genocide of Christians is rarely reported in the mainstream media. This is because the two primary culprits - Muslims and Communists - are protected classes within leftist ideology, while Christians are often considered problematic at best, or actually despised at worst, due to their support for traditional values and ideas of right and wrong. Thus, mainstream journalists usually turn a blind eye to the plight of Christians around the world.

Ad:  The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, by Robert Spencer - It is taken for granted, even among many Washington policymakers, that Islam is a fundamentally peaceful religion and that Islamic jihad terrorism is something relatively new, a product of the economic and political ferment of the twentieth century. But in The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, Islamic scholar Robert Spencer proves definitively that Islamic terror is as old as Islam itself, as old as Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who said “I have been made victorious through terror.”

Spencer briskly traces the 1,400-year war of Islamic jihadis against the rest of the world, detailing the jihad against Europe, including the 700-year struggle to conquer Constantinople; the jihad in Spain, where non-Muslims fought for another 700 years to get the jihadi invaders out of the country; and the jihad against India, where Muslim warriors and conquerors wrought unparalleled and unfathomable devastation in the name of their religion.

Why It Is Important To Understand Christian Persecution

On this website, as you may have noticed, I often highlight stories of Christian persecution around the world. There are several reasons emphasize these stories. The first reason is make apparent to all how dangerous it actually is to be a Christian in this world.

Christians in America generally have a false impression that Christianity is safe, and many believe that by being Christian we will be spared any real suffering. Nothing is further from the truth. In fact, various New Testament passages show Jesus warning His followers of future persecution, which we must endure. 

Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved." -- Matthew 10:21,22 (NKJV)

And, yes, that includes His followers here in America. We will not be spared difficulties, hard times, or even active persecutions. In fact, it is un-Biblical to think we will be spared. 

"Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." -- 2 Timothy 3:12 (ESV)

A second reason I highlight these stories is that persecution against Christians around the world is largely ignored by the mainstream corporate media, because the two main culprits - Muslims & Communists - are protected classes within Leftist ideology, whereas Christians are generally considered the bad guys for promoting traditional values and ideas of right and wrong. 

A third reason is that, as America increasingly tilts to the Left in terms of culture and politics, persecution against Christians will increase sharply in America. Just look at the eagerness with which certain Governors in the US have used the Covid 19 pandemic to shut down Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, while allowing businesses like abortion clinics and liquor stores to remain open. 

Communist governments, and all other Leftist and collectivist regimes, demand that the citizen's top loyalty be to the State, not to God, the Church, or even the family. The State essentially sets itself up as God, and hates competition for that slot.

Finally, I want to show that Islam and Sharia Law are utterly incompatible with Christianity and Western civilization, and represent a clear and present danger to our way of life. It may be politically incorrect to say so, but there is a clash of civilizations ongoing between traditional Western civilization and Islamic civilization. The two civilizations are very different - with different beliefs, values, and worldviews.

In 2021, I will continue to highlight stories of Christian persecution on this website.

India: Christian Pastor Shot and Killed in Jharkhand State

The following is an unedited press release from International Christian Concern (ICC). Please check out their website at www.persecution.org for more on the persecution and genocide of Christians around the world.

Christian Pastor Shot and Killed in India’s Jharkhand State

12/18/2020 India (International Christian Concern) – On December 8, a pastor from India’s Jharkhand state was shot dead by unidentified assailants. Although the motive for the murder has yet to be officially established, the family of the slain pastor claims he was killed for his faith.

According to local sources, the slain pastor was identified as Pastor Salim Stephen Surin. Pastor Surin was a part-time evangelist in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district and ran a small shop the village of Rania to support his wife and two children.

On December 8, Pastor Surin and his wife, Tarsis Surin, traveled to Putikda village because five people had expressed their desire to be baptized. After visiting the Christians in Putikda, Pastor Surin and his wife traveled home on the couple’s motorbike. Along the way, the couple was stopped by three unidentified individuals who shot and killed Pastor Surin.

“They killed my husband in front of my own eyes,” Tarsis told International Christian Concern (ICC). “I was terrified seeing my husband collapse having been shot in the chest. I started to think about my children and loudly cried out to God to save me and take care of my children.”

“I pushed the man who was pointing the gun towards me,” Tarsis continued. “I ran into the thick bushes and the nearby forest. I probably walked for more than ten hours to reach my home. I purposely did not take the road to avoid the attackers.”

After Tarsis escaped, the unidentified assailants fled the scene of the murder. At approximately 5:00 p.m., Pastor Surin’s body was discovered lying on the road by local travelers.

Local Christians report there have been multiple threats issued against Christians in Putikda village. According to one source, the Christians of Putikda have been told they must renounce their Christian faith.

Despite the threats, Pastor Surin continued to visit Putikda and support its Christian community. A murder case was registered by police and an investigation has been opened to look into the matter.

Egypt: Coptic Christian Murdered and Two Injured

The following is an unedited press release from International Christian Concern (ICC). Please check out their website at www.persecution.org for more on the persecution and genocide of Christians around the world.

Alexandria’s Coptic Christians Suffer from Violent Hate Crime

12/15/2020 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on December 10, 2020, three extremists attacked Coptic Christians living in Alexandria (al-Wardyan district), Egypt. This resulted in the murder of one Christian man, the injuries of two, and significant damage to three Christian shops.

A relative of the victim explained about the attack’s instigator, “The extremist was in jail because of so many cases. Usually he was bothering Copts and bullying them so much. His mother was sick and she died on the night of December 10. He left his mother’s body, revealed his swords, and attacked three Coptic shops. He broke the goods and insulted the Copts. Then he slaughtered one Coptic man named Ramsis Bouls Hermina, stabbed his brother named Adel, then attacked a clothes shop owned by Tarek Fawzi Shenouda.

Ramsis died as a result of the injury to his neck. Adel and Tarek both received treatment in the hospital. The Bishop of the West Alexandria Churches further stated, “Ramsis Bouls Hermina, owner of a plastic shop, was injured in his neck and stabbed in his left side of his belly. He was moved to the hospital and then died there. Adel Bouls Hermina, owner of an accessories shop, was tied by one of thugs and another stabbed him in his left side of his belly. Adel was moved to the hospital and is still alive. Tarek Fawzi Shenouda, owner of a clothes shop, was hit by thugs with a club weapon and stabbed in his chest near the heart. He was moved to the hospital and is still alive.

Nasser Ahmed Muhammed, who goes by the name al-Sambo, and his two brothers, Ali and Anwar, instigated the attack. They have a history of frequent disputes with the Christian shop owners on their street. Sambo has a criminal record for thuggery and escalated his harassment of Christian shop owners following his parole, believing that they testified against him. When the mother of the three died on December 10, they blamed the Christians and carried out the attack.

Although arrests were made, local Christians have expressed fear that the extremists will be declared mentally ill and thus not receive the full punishment according to the law. This fear is based on an established pattern of Egypt using claims of mental illness to reduce the penalties of those who attack Christians. While acts of violence against Christians are commonplace in Egypt, it is noteworthy that this incident occurred in Alexandria, where sectarian tensions are normally subtler in comparison to Upper Egypt.

Claire Evans, ICC’s Regional Manager for the Middle East, said, “The Christian community in Egypt is not okay, despite messaging from the authorities to the contrary. This tragedy not only shows the dangers Christians must navigate in Egyptian society, but also the hopelessness among Christians that help will come in the form of justice. Persecution is more than violent cases; it is also about how the authorities respond to these injustices. We mourn with the families of the victims, but also join with the voices of the broader community in asking the authorities: When will Christians in Egypt be equally protected under the law?

Pakistan: Christian Woman Murdered by Muslim Man For Refusing Marriage Proposal

The following is an unedited press release from International Christian Concern (ICC). Please check out their website at www.persecution.org for more on the persecution and genocide of Christians around the world.

Christian Woman in Pakistan Killed for Refusing Marriage Proposal 

12/06/2020 Pakistan (International Christian Concern) – According to local reports, a 24-year-old Christian woman was shot and killed in Pakistan after she refused a marriage proposal and invitation to convert to Islam by a Muslim man.

On November 11, Sonia, a resident of Fazaia Colony in Rawalpindi, was shot and killed in public by Muhammad Shehzad and Faizan, two Muslim men. Sonia was reportedly confronted and killed while she was on her way to work at a garment factory.

According to Sonia’s family, Shehzad had been harassing Sonia for the last six months and had tried to force a physical relationship with her. Sonia refused these advances due to the difference in faith backgrounds.

Eventually, Shehzad proposed that Sonia should marry him and convert to Islam. Shehzad’s mother was even sent to Sonia’s family home in an attempt to negotiate an arranged marriage. Sonia’s family also refused the marriage.

“A few days before the incident, Sonia was again harassed by Shehzad,” Allah Rakha, Sonia’s father, told International Christian Concern (ICC). “Since she was a committed Christian she did not betray Jesus and sacrificed her life for her faith.”

“We are being harassed and pressurized to withdraw the case against culprits,” Rakha continued. “However, I want culprits brought to justice.”

Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR No. 717/2020) against Shehzad and Faizan. However, no arrests have been made at the time of this report.

Jihadi magazine urges Muslims in the US and Europe to hand out poisoned face masks to Christians

12-3-2020 - A new Jihadi magazine, entitled "Wolves of Manhattan", published an article in its first issue urging Muslims living in the United States and Europe to hand out poisoned face masks to Christians and other non-Muslims. The article contained information on how to poison the masks, and how to most effectively hand out the poisoned face masks in public without arousing suspicion.  

The article also encouraged Muslims to take advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to initiate various methods of terror attacks, ranging from the poisoned masks to the burning of the cars of non-believers. The article points out that the mandatory face masks will enable lone wolf terrorists to evade identification by security cameras. It also contains other tips for carrying out attacks while avoiding identification by authorities. 

The pro-Al-Qaeda media outlet Jaysh Al-Malahem Al-Electroni released the first issue of the new magazine on November 26. The Arabic-language digital magazine was released through the media outlet's Twitter and Telegram accounts. The magazine's title refers to "lone wolves" - individual Muslims living in the west who can initiate terror attacks on their own without being a part of, or receiving orders from, a larger organization
