If just one attack on a mosque, which claimed 51 Muslim lives, is enough for the UN to establish an ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia,’ why have countless Muslim attacks on churches, killing thousands of Christians, not been enough for the UN to establish an ‘International Day to Combat Christianophobia?’

June 1, 2022 by BareNakedIslam 14 Comments

Put another way, why is one immensely reprehensible but lone incident of a Western man killing 51 Muslims of far greater importance to the United Nations than the countless instances of Muslims killing untold numbers of Christians?


Gatestone Institute by Raymond Ibrahim 
The United Nations recently named March 15 as “international day to combat Islamophobia.” That date was chosen because it witnessed one of the worst terror attacks on Muslims: on March 15, 2019, an armed Australian, Brenton Tarrant, entered two mosques in New Zealand and opened fire on unarmed and helpless Muslim worshippers; 51 were killed and 40 wounded. Not only has this incident been widely condemned throughout the Wes, it has also caused the UN to single out Islam as needing special protection.
This response, however, raises a critically important question: if one non-Muslim attack on a mosque is enough for the UN to institutionalize a special day for Islam, what about the countless, often worse, Muslim attacks on non-Muslim places of worship? Why have they not elicited a similar response from the UN?
First, the phenomenon of Muslim persecution of Christians is real: it’s unwavering, constant, systematic and systemic, and it conforms to sharia-approved patterns — meaning its root source is Islam.   As I wrote back in 2011 in the very first report,
Whatever the anecdote of persecution, it typically fits under a specific theme, including hatred for churches and other Christian symbols; sexual abuse of Christian women and misogyny; apostasy and blasphemy laws; theft and plunder in lieu of jizya; and over all expectations for Christians to behave like cowed dhimmis.

Consider some of the fatal Muslim attacks on Christian churches — many, to underscore the religious animosity, occurring just on Easter or Christmas — in recent years:
  • Sri Lanka (Apr. 21, 2019): Easter Sunday, Muslim terrorists bombed three churches and three hotels; 359 people were killed and more than 500 wounded.
  • Nigeria (Apr. 20, 2014): Easter Sunday, Islamic terrorists torched a packed church; 150 were killed.
  • Pakistan (Mar. 27, 2016): After Easter Sunday church services, Islamic terrorists bombed a park where Christians had congregated; more than 70 Christians — mostly women and children — were killed. “There was human flesh on the walls of our house,” a witness recalled.
  • Iraq (Oct. 31, 2011): Islamic terrorists stormed a church in Baghdad during worship and opened fire indiscriminately before detonating their suicide vests. Nearly 60 Christians — including women, children, and babies — were killed (graphic pictures of aftermath here).
  • Nigeria (Apr. 8, 2012): Easter Sunday, explosives planted by Muslims detonated near two packed churches; more than 50 were killed, and unknown numbers wounded.
  • Egypt (Apr. 9, 2017): Palm Sunday, Muslims bombed two packed churches; at least 45 were killed, more than 100 wounded.
  • Nigeria (Dec. 25, 2011): During Christmas Day services, Muslim terrorists shot up and bombed three churches; 37 were killed and nearly 57 wounded.
  • Egypt (Dec. 11, 2016): An Islamic suicide bombing of two churches left 29 people killed and 47 wounded (graphic images of aftermath here).
  • Indonesia (May 13, 2018): Muslims bombed three churches; 13 were killed and dozens wounded.
  • Egypt (Jan. 1, 2011): Muslim terrorists bombed a church in Alexandria during New Year’s Eve mass; at least 21 Christians were killed. According to eyewitnesses, “body parts were strewn all over the street outside” and “were brought inside the church after some Muslims started stepping on them and shouting Jihadi chants,” such as “Allahu Akbar!”
  • Philippines (Jan. 27, 2019): Muslim terrorists bombed a cathedral; at least 20 were killed, and more than 100 wounded.
  • Indonesia (Dec. 24, 2000): During Christmas Eve services, Muslim terrorists bombed several churches; 18 were killed and over 100 wounded.
  • Pakistan (Mar. 15, 2015): Muslim suicide bombers killed at least 14 Christians in attacks on two churches.
  • Germany (Dec. 19, 2016): Near the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin, a Muslim man drove a truck into a Christmas market; 13 were killed and 55 wounded.
  • Egypt (Dec. 29, 2017): Muslim gunmen shot up a church in Cairo; nine were killed.
  • Egypt (Jan. 6, 2010): After Christmas Eve mass (according to the Orthodox calendar), Muslims shot six Christians dead as they exited their church.
  • Russia (Feb. 18, 2018): A Muslim man carrying a knife and a double-barreled shotgun entered a church and opened fire; five people — all women — were killed, and at least five wounded.
  • France (July 26, 2016): Muslims entered a church and slit the throat of the officiating priest, 84-year-old Fr. Jacques Hamel, and took four nuns hostage until French authorities shot the terrorists dead.
The above list, it should be noted, is hardly comprehensive; there have been many similar attacks on churches — in Egypt alone, here, here, here, here, here, and here. But because there were no or only few fatalities, they received little, if any, coverage in the Western press.
Egypt, home to the largest indigenous Christian community of the Middle East, the Copts, is little better.  Both ISIS and any number of homegrown “radical Muslims” have bombed or burned numerous churches, killing many worshipers over the years, while authorities have simply banned churches, often in response to angry Muslim mobs.  Moreover, “[i]n Egypt, kidnappings and forced marriages of Christian women and girls to their Muslim abductors ha[ve] reached record levels.”

This dismissal is especially true for those remote — and, apparently, in the views of Western media — “unimportant” regions, such as Nigeria, where Christians are being purged hourly in a Muslim-produced genocide. Thus, after noting that Muslims have eliminated 60,000 Christians between just 2009 and 2021, an August 2021 report states that, during that same time frame, Muslims also destroyed or torched 17,500 churches and 2,000 Christian schools. How many undocumented souls perished in those largely unreported terror attacks?
Rev. Gideon Para-Mallam reacts to the recent killings of Christians in Nigeria’s central Plateau state:

In Nigeria, a Christian is killed for their faith every two hours; that’s nearly 13 Christians a day and 372 Christians a month.
The list above of fatal Muslim attacks on churches does not include any of the many that were botched, for example, a March 28, 2021 attack on a church during Palm Sunday service, where only the suicide bombers — a Muslim man and his pregnant wife — died.

In these fatal church attacks alone, Muslims have massacred hundreds of Christians, not even including the thousands of Christians and other Western people massacred in non-church attacks, including 9/11, London’s 7/7/2005 transit system attacks, Paris’s Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan Theater attack, Barcelona’s Las Ramblas attack, Nice’s July 14 attack, Toulouse’s Jewish school attack, Berlin’sWinter Market and Copenhagen’s terror attacks, to name just a few.
If ever cornered and forced to explain this discrepancy, no doubt the UN would say that, unfortunate as all of those church and other attacks might be, they do not reveal a pattern, the way “Islamophobia” does; that church attacks are all byproducts of terrorism (which reportedly is in no way connected to Islam) fueled by economics, territorial disputes and inequality, in a word, “grievances.” Fix those temporal problems and attacks on churches will cease.

In reality, the exact opposite appears to be true: whereas the New Zealand mosque attack was indeed an aberration — evidenced by its singularity — Muslim attacks on churches are extremely common, not only now but throughout history. In Turkey, for example, one can see what became of the great Christian Byzantine Empire after it was first invaded by Arabs in the seventh century, to when Constantinople fell to Sultan Mehmed II in 1453, and on to the early 20th century genocide of Armenians, Assyrians and Pontic Greeks.
As can be seen here, seldom does a month pass in the Muslim world today, and increasingly in the West, without several assaults on, or harassments of, churches taking place. While some of these, fortunately, may not have been fatal, they all underscore Islam’s indisposition to churches, and, it would seem, to any religious structure or symbol that is not part of Islam.

Revealingly, those who terrorize churches often share little with one another: they come from widely different nations (Nigeria, Iraq, Philippines, etc.), are of different races, speak different languages, and live under different socio-economic conditions. The only thing they do share—the one thing that, it seems, leads them to assault churches and murder Christians — appears to be their religion.
In other words, Muslim attacks on churches seem to have an ideological source, are systemic, and therefore an actual, ongoing problem that the international community needs to highlight and ameliorate.

Yet the UN would have us ignore and brush aside all these ongoing massacres of Christian church worshippers as unfortunate byproducts of misplaced “Muslim grievances” — and instead fixate on one solitary, if admittedly horrendous, incident.
For the UN, evidently, one incident constitutes a “pattern” — one in dire need of recognition and response. The response is to silence, ignore or attack all those who expose the heavily documented real pattern of abuse and violence against non-Muslims — which, make no mistake, is precisely what “combatting Islamophobia” is all about.

    There you have it. The muslim is wanted from the politics and the nwo, ngo, pro asyl, george sorros and many more and the christian has to pay the bill and then disapear and for all to keep quiet and to be a part of the we are more clubs or the our special democracy as the reds say here. Should you not want this then you will turn overnight into a nazi raccist and even an anti semite and the we are more clubs will hunt you down. Sad but true here in the best germany of all times as the state president says.

    Yes, Nigeria is horrific for Christians. Voice of the Martyrs is an excellent site for awareness of the muslim persecution of Christians worldwide, their persecution in general and their perseverance despite it! The persecution of Jews and Christians is a pillar in the agenda of marxists/globalists/dems and the UN is a tool. It’s Satanic and most are unwitting of that, the rest and Satan know their time is short. JESUS IS LORD. Philippians 2: 9-11.

    Seems as though Muslims have a certain degree of ruling authority over the United Nations (UN) which means the UN is Not fair; Not impartial.

    I really feel sometimes that Im living in an alternative universe where I see Left leaning feminists fall over themselves to defend a religion and its people like islam while calling the Christians every evil name you can think of.
    The Western feminist are totally silent about the oppression of women in islam while calling America a rape culture, they decided that Trump is a sexist but not Bill Clinton, they want to join in with a ”Hijab day” while taking no notice of women in Iran that are jailed for taking that rag off their heads, they totally ignore the slaughter of Christians around the World by their lovely wee soy boys from the muslim community that want tor ape them and then let them off any rape charge by stating he didnt know it was wrong as he comes from a different culture… WTF !!! is wrong with these people ?.
    Nothing makes any sense anymore, but then common sense hasnt been too common for a long time already.

    Muslim attacks on churches, killing thousands of Christians, not been enough for the UN to establish an ‘International Day to Combat Christianophobia?’

    Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been savagely slaughtered by the devout followers of warlord Mohammad in the last years alone.

    This makes it essential that EVERY DAY Of The Year is made an ‘International Day to Combat Christianophobia. And use every method urgently needed to End the Savage Muslim Slaughters of Christians.

    I have been to the U.S. of A. on a B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa to the U.S. which expires in 6 months!

    Would any American BNIer please agree to host me and help me with the paperwork and getting social security disability benefits (I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD owing to torture that’s beyond measure and description by the Egyptian National Security Agency’s operatives for insulting islam and Moslems on social media) till I get a green card and follow in the footsteps of Baruch Goldstein, Alexandre Bissonnette, and Brenton Tarrant?

    As it is, there are 2.5 billion Koranimals as of today, and they are going to multiply to 10 billion Koranimals by 2100 C.E.

    Till WWI came to an end, pure-blooded European Roman Catholic Christians and Orthodox ☦ Christians had decimated Koranimals in thousands of battles, chief among them being the 732 A.D. Battle of Tours, the First Crusade, the 1571 A.D. Battle of Lepanto, the 1683 A.D. Battle of Vienna, and the 1697 A.D. Battle of Zenta, etc., ad infinitum!

    Islam is a religion tailored for the low-I.Q., high-testosterone postpubertal males who make up the vast majority of today’s adult males. And the only thing that stopped the expansionist Islamic juggernaut dead in its tracks till WWI came to an end had been sheer, overwhelming, brute force on the part of pure-blooded European Roman Catholic Christians and Orthodox ☦ Christians.

    God bless Baruch Goldstein (may he R.I.P. in the presence of God, and the angels), Alexandre Bissonnette, and Brenton Tarrant (long may them warriors live)!

      Funny how the population of Muslims in the world goes up every time it’s mentioned by a Muslim.

      I know you don’t seriously think anyone on THIS blog would sponsor you. But thanks for the laugh.

        I’ve been here on BNI since 2014 A.D.

        I’m quite possibly the most anti-Islam non-Koranimal on Earth, and I am by no means a f*cking Moslem — f*ck Mad Mo’, the pedophile who founded islam, and, his sock puppet, Allah!

    A Christian is killed EVERY 2 HOURS in Nigeria.

    Last year, more Christians were murdered in Nigeria than any other country – accounting for more than 80% of Christians killed worldwide.

    Yet, in that same year, President Biden REMOVED Nigeria from a critical persecution watchlist, effectively abandoning Christians in their greatest time of need.

    Secretary Pompeo had placed Nigeria on this vital watchlist under the Trump Administration, crediting the ACLJ with helping make the case.

    Now, as the radical jihadist violence against Christians is drastically escalating, we MUST take action. It’s our sacred duty. Right now, we are preparing to send a critical legal letter to the U.S. State Department demanding the Biden Administration once again protect Christians and place Nigeria on this watchlist.
