Europe Faces Surge in Anti-Christian Attacks as Violence Spreads

St Paul’s in Corbeil Essonnes

Europe is facing a growing wave of anti-Christian violence, with Germany recording the highest number of arson attacks in 2024. According to the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe), a total of 2,211 anti-Christian offenses were documented across the continent, including 274 personal attacks involving physical violence and threats.

Analysts warn that these figures reflect a climate of growing intolerance that affects local communities in concrete ways.

If you told Canadians ten years ago their government would be debating the censorship of the Bible, most would have laughed.

Now, thanks to Liberal MP Marc Miller, the joke’s over.

Trump threatens to send US military into Nigeria with ‘guns-a-blazing’

Donald Trump has threatened to send the US military into Nigeria with “guns-a-blazing” if the African country does not stem what he described as the killing of Christians by Islamists.

Mr Trump said on on Saturday that he had asked the Pentagon to map out a possible plan of attack, one day after warning that Christianity was “facing an existential threat in Nigeria”.

Christian Leaders Ignore Muslim Genocide Of Nigerian Christians

St. Francis Catholic Church Nigeria

For years, Christians have been systemically persecuted in Nigeria, with Muslim terrorist groups and militias periodically raiding, raping, murdering, and enslaving Christian civilians in the northern part of the country.

According to a recent article in Catholic Vote, “[F]rom 2019 to 2023, a total of 55,910 people were killed,” and “21,621 people were abducted.” During this four-year timespan, Nigeria “saw an average of eight attacks per day involving killings and/or abductions.” This has continued to this day, with “more than 7,000 Christians killed in Nigeria during the first 220 days of 2025.”

American Christians: Heed the Example of Decimated Europe

Investigation underway after vandalism reported at church before Turning Point USA event

Those of us sitting in the pews as our bishops deliver thinly-veiled social justice diatribes must work to empower pro-Christian leaders.

Mass immigration and rising godless progressivism have resulted in a surge of hostility and violence against Christians in Europe, but the same could happen in America if American Christians aren’t careful. José Luis Bazán, a consultant to Europe’s Catholic bishops, recently issued a report on the phenomenon, documenting roughly 1,600 attacks against Catholic Churches in France and Greece, as well as similar attacks in Spain and Italy. “These attacks reflect a climate of ideological hostility toward religion,” Bazán told Catholic News Agency. “Attacks or acts of vandalism against places of worship are pandemic,” he emphasized. “We have fragmentary elements here and there, but if you put them all together, you realize the upward trend.”

Anti-Christian hate crimes across Europe are being downplayed or overlooked – report

Anti-Christian hate crimes across Europe are being downplayed or overlooked, according to a new report.

The 125-page document has been published by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR). Similar reports have already been published dealing with anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim hate crimes.

The report on anti-Christian hate crimes was officially launched earlier this month at the Warsaw Human Dimension Conference. It notes that Christians in Europe have been subject to a variety of incidents, ranging from graffiti and vandalism, to violent attacks and murder.

China condemned over arrest of 30 Christians

Mass – “House church” China

Foreign governments and human rights groups have condemned the arrest of leaders of one of China’s largest underground Christian churches at a time of growing tension between Washington and Beijing.

The US and Germany have called for the release of 30 pastors of the Zion Church, including its founder, Jin Mingri, known as Ezra Jin. He was arrested on Saturday, seven years after the authorities imposed travel restrictions that have prevented him from visiting his family, who live in exile in the US.

Legal advocacy group campaigns to preserve charitable status for religion

A legal charity is preparing a strategy to preserve the tax-exempt status of religious congregations, warning the potential for its loss still looms.

On January 6, Parliament’s Finance Committee published a long list of recommendations, including 430: “Amend the Income Tax Act to provide a definition of a charity which would remove the privileged status of ‘advancement of religion’ as a charitable purpose.”

In the first five months of 2025 alone, 322 anti-Christian acts were recorded—an increase of 13% over the same period last year.

Poilievre claims Christians ‘may be the number 1’ victims of hate-based violence

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Monday that Christians and their places of worship are being targeted and, if elected, he will crack down on religion-based hate through tougher sanctions for crimes like arson.

Speaking to reporters at an announcement on food inflation, Poilievre said he has watched with alarm at the “terrible” spate of church burnings, incidents he described as “terrorist attacks” directed at Christians.

They certainly are world wide thanks primarily to Muslims. And I have seen in the press that Church desecrations are treated as mere vandalism by local authorities.

The rising fear of American Christians

Why are churches arming themselves?

Church bulletins don’t usually set passions aflame, but last month, an ad in the newsletter of The Ascension Catholic Church in Chesterfield, Missouri, did just that. Placed by parishioner John Ray, the ad called to recruit “all young men back to the church to form a militia” at the Legion of Sancta Lana. Those taking up the offer would be tasked with “protecting the Holy Eucharist, our congregation, our clergy and the church grounds from violent and non-violent attacks”.

(From a year ago and oddly prophetic though the author didn’t want to be)

America Takes a Stand for the Rights of Western Christians

The U.S. State Department has once again sent the United Kingdom a clear warning: the ongoing persecution and prosecution of praying pro-lifers will not be tolerated. Their annual “United Kingdom 2024 Human Rights Report” opens with an ominous conclusion: “The human rights situation worsened in the United Kingdom during the year.”

The report noted “specific areas of concern, including … ‘Safe Access Zones’ (limiting speech rights around abortion clinics). These restrictions on freedom of speech could include prohibitions on efforts to influence others when inside a restricted area, even through prayer or silent protests.” The stark rise in antisemitism is also cited.

32 Christians are killed per day, but the West sees only Gaza

Once upon a time, Africa was always on the front pages of European newspapers.

Today, Africa has vanished. Erased by Gaza’s Ministry of Truth.

A new report from the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, Intersociety, reveals that 7,087 Christians were massacred in Nigeria in the first 220 days of 2025, with an average of 32 Christians killed per day. By year’s end, they will number more than ten thousand.

Let’s repeat it: 32 Christians killed every day because they are Christians.

Child Abuse: Christians singled out as “Oppressors” by TDSB Human Rights Dept.

‘No more TikTok teaching’: Jewish advocacy group calls for Ontario classrooms to be free of identity politics

A Jewish advocacy group released a report on Monday with recommendations to depoliticize Ontario classrooms. It called on the ministry of education to build a curriculum based on achievement, rather than identity.

… The same policies that have made Jewish students feel unsafe have also created inhospitable environments for Hindu, Christian and Asian students, she said, adding that the human rights department at the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trains staff on “who qualifies as an oppressor,” singling out Christians.

Here is the JEFA web site and full report.

In pdf format – End the Crisis in Education final

I hope parents sue the TDSB for child abuse.

But I have to ask why Christian churches have never raised this issue.

This blog spent a lot of energy covering TDSB antics and was the 1st to reveal the anti-white racism embedded in  TDSB teaching.
