“We are going to kill you & destroy your church”: The persecution of Christians, November 2022

Without any prior notice, government authorities bulldozed the church and homes of 200 Christians in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, leaving them homeless

Newsroom December 21 10:10

The following are among the murders and abuses Muslims inflicted on Christians throughout the month of November 2022:

Nigeria: Muslim terrorists slaughtered “at least” 40 Christians in Plateau and Kaduna states alone, according to an end of month report published on Nov. 30. They also wounded at least 20 Christians, burned down a village church and many Christian homes. One of the Christians murdered was originally abducted and held for ransom. His brother shared the treacherous outcome:

“My brother, a father of two children, was kidnapped in early October … The bandits contacted us and demanded that we pay a ransom of the amount of 200 million naira (US$450,418), but after a long process of negotiations, they reduced the ransom to 10 million naira (US$22,520). We were able to raise 3 million naira, but unfortunately after collecting the money from us, they still killed my brother on Nov. 17.”

After breaking their part of the deal by slaughtering their ransomed victim, the Muslim terrorists demanded another ransom merely to return the man’s corpse to his family. The brother continued:

“The bandits said that if we pay them [an additional] 10 million naira [US$22,520], they’ll release my brother’s corpse to us. This is a very sad and depressing situation for us as my brother was tortured to death.”

Mozambique: Throughout the month of October 2022, at least 21 Christians were slaughtered by “Islamist extremists,” a Nov. 9 report revealed:

“The Islamists … announced the killing of 20 Christians [and another in a church-burning incident below] and the displacement of hundreds more in Cabo Delgado between October 3 and 20. The attacks were carried out by an Islamic State (IS)-affiliated organisation Ahlu Sunnah Wa-Jama, known locally as Al Shabaab (not the Somali-based group of the same name). They were announced in al-Naba, the weekly magazine of IS (also known as ISIS, ISIL, Daesh).”
