Raymond Ibrahim<\/a> – April 7, 2021<\/p>\n Few phenomena are as horrifically widespread as they are virtually unknown\u2014at least in the West\u2014as the Muslim persecution of Christians.<\/p>\n The general facts are undeniable and have been and continue to be documented in a number of reports issued by a variety of human rights organizations around the world.\u00a0 According to one of the most recent compilations, Open Doors\u2019 \u201cWorld Wide List, 2021<\/a>\u201d\u2014which was published in January 2021 and which annually ranks the top 50 nations where Christians are most persecuted for their faith\u201413 Christians are killed for their faith every day<\/em> around the world; 12 are illegally arrested or imprisoned; 5 are abducted; and 12 churches or other Christian buildings are attacked.<\/p>\n About 309 million of these Christians \u201csuffer very high or extreme levels\u201d of persecution.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s one in 8 worldwide, 1 in 6 in Africa, 2 out of 5 in Asia, and 1 in 12 in Latin America.\u201d\u00a0 More specifically and for the reporting period covered (Oct. 2019 \u2013 Sept. 2020), \u201c4,761 Christians were killed for their faith\u201d; an additional 4,277 Christians were unjustly arrested, detained, or imprisoned; 1,710 were abducted for faith-related reasons; and 4,488 Churches or Christian buildings were attacked.<\/p>\n The worst category, \u201cextreme persecution\u201d\u2014the harassing, beating, imprisoning, raping, and\/or slaughtering of Christians on sight\u2014occurs in 12 of the 50 nations.\u00a0 Nine of these top 12 worst persecutors are Muslim: Afghanistan (#2), Somalia (#3), Libya (#4), Pakistan (#5), Yemen (#7), Iran (#8), Nigeria (#9), Iraq (#11), and Syria (#12).\u00a0 (That these nations are racially, culturally, politically, and economically very different\u2014Arab, Asian, Iranian, sub-Saharan African, etc.\u2014should be indicative that something else accounts for their commonality towards Christians.)<\/p>\n Over all, the persecution Christians experience in 39 of the 50 nations making the list is also either from \u201cIslamic oppression\u201d or is occurring in Muslim majority nations.\u00a0 This means nearly 80 percent of the Christian persecution around the world\u2014including of those 13 Christians killed for their faith every day\u2014is committed by Muslims.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Raymond Ibrahim – April 7, 2021 Few phenomena are as horrifically widespread as they are virtually unknown\u2014at least in the West\u2014as the Muslim persecution of Christians.
