The persecution of Christians, January 2024: “Killed civilians, raped girls & looted homes” – Report

The number of crimes every month is huge and almost every month is worse than the one before

Newsroom February 28 12:51

The following are among the abuses and murders inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of January 2024.

Nigeria: A few January headlines from the ongoing jihadist-genocide of Christians in the African nation follow:

  • Jan. 8: “Terrorists Slaughter 41 Christians in Kaduna State, Nigeria”
  • Jan. 24: “At Least 31 Christians Slaughtered in Central Nigeria”
  • Jan. 11: “Islamic Extremists Kill 15 Christians in Northeast Nigeria”
  • Jan. 5: “Boko Haram Terrorists Attack Yobe Community, Kill Pastor, 13 Others; Burn Church, Houses, Cars”
  • Jan. 16: “Terrorists Kill 10 Christians in Central Nigeria”
  • Jan. 25: “Terrorists Kill Five Christians in Central Nigeria”
  • Jan. 18: “Pastor, Three Other Christians Kidnapped in Central Nigeria”
  • Jan. 9: “Christians Remain Captive in Nigeria Despite Ransom Payment”

Turkey: On Sunday, Jan. 28, two masked gunmen entered the Church of Santa Maria in Constantinople and opened fire — turning an otherwise peaceful Catholic mass into a scene of horror. One man was killed and another wounded. Surveillance footage showed the rest of the 40 or so congregants fleeing in a panic. The two killers, citizens of Tajikistan and Russia — both Muslims — were tracked down and arrested.

Later that evening, Islamic State claimed the attack. It was in response, they said, to its leader’s call to kill Jews and Christians everywhere, and jihadists had “attacked a gathering of Christian unbelievers during their polytheistic ceremony.” Other attacks in Turkey claimed by Islamic State include a shooting at an Istanbul nightclub in 2017 that killed 39 people and a 2015 bombing attack in Ankara that killed 109.
