The persecution of Christians in the Islamic world has become endemic. Accordingly, “Muslim Persecution of Christians” was developed to collate some—by no means all—of the instances of persecution that surface each month…most of which are ignored by the Western mainstream media.
It serves two purposes:
1) To document that which the mainstream media does not: the habitual, if not chronic, persecution of Christians.
2) To show that such persecution is not “random,” but systematic and interrelated—that it is rooted in a worldview inspired by Islamic Sharia.

GERMANY: Muslim migrants beat and repeatedly stabbed a homeless man in Berlin, while yelling in Arabic translated as “We f*ck your sister, we’ll finish you!” and “Your pig-God, we f *ck your pig-God!”
According to the report, “Arabic-speaking youths were caught on video assaulting and stabbing a homeless Berlin man, leaving him with severe injuries to the buttocks, thigh, and arm, according to investigators.”
The report adds that this “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.”
Separately in Germany,a migrant man, apparently of Somali origin, entered a church in Munich during Easter Mass and threw dangerous objects at worshippers (variously described as stones or firecrackers) while shouting, “Allahu akbar” (Allah is greater). Authorities concluded that he was “mentally ill” and therefore not responsible for his actions.
UNITED STATES: South Carolina’s Midway Presbyterian Church was vandalized, including by having its 125 year old windows shattered.
“SUBMIT TO GOD THRU ISLAM” and “MUHAMMED IS HIS PROPHET” were spray painted in black on the church’s side.
ITALY: A 37-year-old Muslim migrant in Rome was recently arrested for attempted homicide after he stabbed a Christian man in the throat for wearing a crucifix around his neck. “Religious hate” is cited as an “aggravating factor” in the crime.
Days earlier, a separate report noted that “crosses on graves in an Italian cemetery in Pieve di Cento have been covered with black cloth so as not to offend those who may come from another religion,” an apparent reference to Muslim migrants, some of whom have been known to desecrate Christian cemeteries.
UNITED KINGDOM: A court “sentenced a Muslim Iranian asylum seeker to jail,” an April 5 report says, “for stabbing his wife to death, in part for her conversion to Christianity.”
Dana Abdullah, 35, stabbed Avan Najmadiein, his estranged wife and 32-year-old mother of four, 50 times with a kitchen knife because she refused to support his asylum application. He was deported from the UK in 2013 for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl, had returned illegally, and was now “threatening to kill his wife because she ‘dishonored’ him by converting to Christianity, authorities said.”
SRI LANKA: On Easter Sunday, April 21, Islamic terrorists launched a bombing campaign on Christians; the death toll reached 359, with hundreds more wounded.
Eight separate explosions took place, at least two of which were suicide bombings: three targeted churches celebrating Easter Sunday Mass; four targeted hotels frequented by Western tourists in connection with Easter holiday; one blast was in a house, and killed three police officers during a security operation. At least 39 foreigners — including citizens of the United States, Britain, Australia, Japan, Denmark and Portugal — were among the slain.
NIGERIA: The slaughter of Christians in a country that is approx. 50% Muslim and 50% Christian continues year round with the Muslims trying to become the majority by using violence.
On Sunday, April 14, Muslim herdsmen slaughtered 17 Christians who had gathered after a baby dedication at a church. The infant’s mother was among the slain; the father was left hospitalized in critical condition.

On Sunday, April 21, ten boys were killed while taking part in an Easter procession. Emmanuel Ogebe, a Nigerian human rights lawyer remarked in an email, “The Holy Week killings in Nigeria do not grab headlines like Sri Lanka but still Nigeria’s Christians are dying the deaths of a 1000 cuts in as many installments!”
INDONESIA: Several crosses in the Bethesda Christian cemetery in Mrican were vandalized, broken and burned in the most populous Muslim nation. The cemetery keeper said that “in the ten years since he has held the job, he has never seen such vandalism.” The report notes that:
“The incident joins a long list of cases of intolerance that have taken place in recent months…. In December 2018, some residents in Purbayan removed the upper part of a cross placed on the tomb of Albertus Slamet Sugihardi, after informing his widow, Maria Sutris Winarni, that the cemetery was ‘for the exclusive use of Muslims.’ Before that, the Catholic family was forced to hold a private funeral to avoid tensions with the Islamic community. A few weeks later, Christian tombs were vandalized in several cemeteries in Magelang, 30 kilometres north of Yogyakarta, Central Java.”
EGYPT: After a large Muslim mob beat two Christians, one a Coptic priest, in front of 200 terrified children who had gathered for Bible lessons, authorities responded by arresting the beaten Christian priest and shutting the church in compliance with the mob’s wishes.
On the previous day, the mayor had gone to oversee ongoing reconstruction of the church. Angered at what he considered too much of an “add-on,” he accused the church of “treason” and riled local Muslims against it. At that point, according to the report:
“The city council immediately arrived, stopped the work and confiscated building materials, including the cement and the reinforced steel. The next day at 4 p.m., dozens of angry demonstrators tried to enter the church premises but were unable to get through a steel door. Carrying clubs and knives, they started shouting, cursing and pelting the building with rocks, according to Coptic Solidarity.
Additional forces arrived, and Father Basilious was struck as he and another priest were escorted off the premises. Parents and church leaders were not able to move the 200 children away from the angry, chanting villagers until security forces dispersed the crowds. Though police witnessed the beating of the priest, no arrests were made. “
KYRGYZSTAN: Three Muslim men nearly beat to death a former Muslim man because he converted to Christianity.
After they broke into the home of Eldos, in his 20s, they repeatedly kicked him in the head as he lay helpless on the floor, fracturing his jaw and smashing his teeth and leaving him semi-conscious. They then threatened that they would come back to kill him if he did not leave the village by the morning. Eldos reported the incident to local authorities—only to find them siding with his attackers.
UGANDA: When the family of Sheikh Hassan Podo, 28, a former Muslim imam, found out he was a secret convert to Christianity, they began shouting, beating and insulting him as an ‘infidel’ and enemy of the Islamic religion.”
He was bleeding as he fled for his life and later was found in a pool of blood a kilometer away from the homestead, unconscious.” After being treated for wounds to his head and body and gone into hiding, Podo’s father assembled a group of Muslims from different mosques “to hunt for the life of his son, declaring a fatwa and disowning him, and giving his land to the brothers for bringing blasphemy into the family.”
KENYA (a country where just 11% are Muslims) Charles Ndingi Mudasir, a former Muslim who converted to Christianity in 2014, shared some of what transpired once his Muslim father learned of his apostasy:
“My father, along with two imams and my uncles, descended on me with blows, slaps, and whips, calling me a kafir (infidel)…. They forced me to repeat the shahada [several times]. They continued to beat me mercilessly. After that I was never allowed to leave the compound on Sundays.
Then, “in 2015, my father arranged a trip for me and my uncle, Mohamed, to Qatar, where I learned that the plan my father had devised was to have me beheaded because I had refused to convert back to Islam. I escaped from my uncle at the airport and rushed back to the church.”
PAKISTAN: On account of his Christian identity, Muslims attacked and beat Kenneth Johnson, a 27-year-old Christian, after he tried to open a small grocery store.
“I had customers in my shop when Fiaz Khattak led an armed group of about a dozen Muslim. They attacked my shop, damaged the stuff, thrashed me, passed derogatory remarks against Christians and Christianity.” “How dare you, a Christian, initiate a business of a grocery store in the village. You are born to clean the roads and our houses, not to do businesses.”
