Persecution of Christians

April 30, 2024

The Persecution of Christians is an integral part of Political Islam. According to the doctrine of Political Islam Christians and Jews as well as anyone else, who does not submit to Mohammed and Allah are considered Kafirs – the worst creatures on earth [1]. They can be beheaded [2], killed [3], plotted against [4], terrorized [5] and should not be taken as friends [6] - they are considered as enemies, which have to be fought against [7] [8] [9] - the last statement of Mohammed before he died, was that the whole Arabian Peninsula has to be purged from Jews and Christians alike [10]. It is the stated purpose of Political Islam to convert, subjugate or annihilate all Kafirs [11] and everything which is non-Islamic, until the whole world has submitted to Islam.

The persecution of Christians motivated by the doctrine of Political Islam is not limited only to Islamic countries:

  • Nigeria 2023: Over 8000 christians have been killed [12].
  • Mozambique 2024: The Islamic state has build a foothold. Christian preachers have been persecuted and churches have been burned down [13].
  • Jarawala / Pakistan 2024: The accusation of blasphemy made by the Islamic community against the christian minority lead to the burning of more then 24 churches as well as the the vandalization of over 100 homes of christian families [14]
  • Great Britian 2019: A church is turned into a mosque [15]
  • France 2023: Leader of the Grand mosque of Paris requested 5000 more mosques and that churches be turned into mosques to fulfill the needs of the local Islamic community [16]
  • France 2021: three people killed by a jihadist, because they were christians [21]
  • France 2016: a christian priest has been killen by a jihadi [20]
  • Spain 2019: A jihadist attacked two catholic churches [17]
  • Egypt 2017: 48 people have been killed, because they were christians [18]
  • Germany 2017: over 100 attacks on christians and churches – some of them by members of the Islamic community [19]

Arberry, Arthur John, Hrsg. The Koran Interpreted: A Translation. A Touchstone Book. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1996.

[1]
Koran 98:6 The unbelievers of the People of the Book and the idolaters shall be in the Fire of Gehenna, therein dwelling forever; those are the worst of creatures.

[2]
Koran 47:4 When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if God had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of God, He will not send their works astray.

[3]
Koran 9:5 Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.

[4]
Koran 86:15-17 They are devising guile, and I am devising guile. So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile.

[5]
Koran 8:12 When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them!

[6]
Koran 5:51 O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Whoso of you makes them his friends is one of them. God guides not the people of the evildoers.

[7]
Koran 9:30 The Jews say, Ezra is the Son of God; the Christians say, The Messiah is the Son of God. That is the utterance of their mouths, conforming with the unbelievers before them. God assail them! How they are perverted!

[8]
Koran 9:29: Fight those who believe not in God and the Last Day and do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden -- such men as practise not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book -- until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled.

[9]
Koran 2:193 Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Gods; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.

Sahih Muslim Book 19, 4366 It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.
