As the genocide against Christians in Nigeria crashes on, a news outlet, TruthNigeria.com, continues to courageously shed light on the atrocities committed by jihadists against Nigerians of all religions.
“Truth Nigeria,” according to its website, “had to be launched to slice through the fog of war and the cloud of false narrative that bedevils mainstream media reporting of what many call a ‘Christian genocide’ in Nigeria that has been spreading like a cancer.”
Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin is under fire for remarks that downplay the terror attacks that Christians in Nigeria have been suffering at the hands of Islamic extremists for decades.
Parolin was the keynote speaker for an event held at the Vatican on Tuesday. The gathering focused on the recently released 2025 Religious Freedom Report published by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).
ACN surveyed 196 countries for its report. It found that just under two-thirds of the world’s population live in countries with “serious or very serious violations of religious freedom.” Twenty-four countries, including Nigeria, received the “worst” category in its report: persecution.
Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa/Abu Mohammad al-Julani, a former Syrian al-Qaeda leader and a former ISIS (Islamic State) terrorist, is now the current, self-ascribed ‘president’ of Syria. He was in New York addressing the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) at the U.N. headquarters on September 24. Meanwhile, his Islamist regime was burning homes, villages, and forests in what is known as the Valley of Christians in Syria.
Julani has since returned to Syria, where his regime continues to murder and persecute members of religious minorities.
“What we see in Africa today is a kind of silent genocide or silent, brutal, savage war that is occurring in the shadows and all too often ignored by the international community… [J]ihadist groups are in a position to take over not one, not two, but several countries in Africa…. It’s very dangerous for the national security of the United States…. Christians are going to be targeted and destroyed.” — Alberto Miguel Fernandez, geopolitical analyst and former U.S. diplomat, Fox News, August 7, 2025, Mozambique.
As we approach the second anniversary of Hamas mercilessly slaughtering 1,200 human beings on October 7, 2023, our media remind us daily of the death toll of Palestinians, according to the “Gaza Health Ministry,” which is run by Hamas.
It’s outrageous that these media outlets are such receptive publicists for mass-murdering terrorists. But they have effectively reversed the polarity, and the people of Israel are painted as the most horrible ghouls on Earth.
Attack in Viterbo foiled, two Turks arrested: they wanted to attack the Santa Rosa procession
There is widespread fear in Viterbo over the procession of Santa Rosa , an unmissable event for the faithful of the Lazio city. Yesterday afternoon, the Digos (Special Operations Division) arrested two Turkish citizens. They were staying at a B&B in the upper part of the historic center, right along the procession route, and during the search, a machine gun , several pistols , magazines, and ammunition were found in their possession. Initial investigations suggest the Turks may have targeted the crowd indiscriminately or directly the Santa Rosa procession , carried by porters, a historic religious and civic symbol of Viterbo. ” This was a decisive operation that allowed us to safely celebrate a unique event, recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity and representing a centuries-old tradition deeply felt by the people of Viterbo and many Italians ,” Meloni said.

Muslim extremists now forbid Christians from farming, and punish defiance with shootings, kidnappings, and threats against families. Thousands remain displaced, living in overcrowded shelters with no food or medical care….. Despite military presence, extremist Muslim militias continue to terrorize rural Christian communities with near total impunity. — persecution.org, July 1, 2025 — Nigeria.
The wave of hatred and violence against Christians in Pakistan has continued for decades. Burning homes, destroying Christian crosses and churches, setting the Holy Bible on fire, and even burning people alive demonstrate the extreme prejudice and hostility embedded in the hearts of extremist elements. This behavior is not accidental but is part of a deliberate plan aimed at intimidating and weakening Christians by desecrating their religious symbols.
The harrowing cases of Mahak Siddique and Alshaba Adnan expose a deeply disturbing pattern of violence, exploitation, and systemic failure in addressing crimes against underage girls from minority communities in Pakistan. Babar son of Mukhtar, operating under aliases such as Ghulam Rasool and Muhammad Babar Ali, emerges as a serial predator who manipulates religious institutions to perpetrate kidnapping, forced conversion, rape, and child marriage. These acts, committed with impunity and aided by accomplices including Muhammad Aftab, Shan Masih, and Khurram Masih, reveal a chilling disregard for human dignity and legal accountability.
After 23 years on death row, a 72-year-old Christian in Pakistan, Anwar Kenneth, was acquitted of blasphemy this past June by the country’s Supreme Court.
Kenneth, a Catholic, was arrested in 2001 for sending letters deemed blasphemous towards Islam’s Prophet Mohammad and the Quran. He was charged under Section 295-C of Pakistan’s blasphemy law, which carries a mandatory death sentence.
In July 2002, a Lahore court sentenced him to death after he pleaded guilty, declaring, “God is my counsel.”
Brussels officials are never lost for words on Gaza or the war in Ukraine. But critics say it is another matter entirely when it comes to the persecution of foreign Christians, especially by Islamists.
Dutch conservative MEP Bert-Jan Ruissen said on Monday that the European Union—as well as other international communities—is “far too silent about jihadist violence against Christians.”
“The horrific killing of Kashif Masih is not just a tragedy—it is a damning indictment of the justice system in Pakistan. That a man could be tortured to death under false allegations, and that the police failed to act promptly or conduct a proper investigation, shows the systemic discrimination Christians face daily. The failure to collect crucial evidence and the reluctance to pursue justice….” — britishasianchristians.org, June 2, 2025.
GOMA, Congo (AP) — Islamic State-backed rebels attacked a Catholic church in eastern Congo on Sunday, killing at least 34 people, according to a local civil society leader.
Dieudonne Duranthabo, a civil society coordinator in Komanda, in the Ituri province, told The Associated Press that the attackers stormed the church in Komanda town at around 1 a.m. Several houses and shops were also burnt.
“The bodies of the victims are still at the scene of the tragedy, and volunteers are preparing how to bury them in a mass grave that we are preparing in a compound of the Catholic church,” Duranthabo said.
On June 22, Muslims murdered 25 Christians — mostly women and children — and wounded nearly 100 more inside a church in Syria.
According to eyewitnesses, one or two armed men entered the Mar Elyas Greek Orthodox Church in Damascus during mass, when it was packed with some 350 worshippers, and indiscriminately opened fire before detonating an explosive belt inside the sanctuary.
“When we got to the church, we found the doorway filled with body parts,” said a relief helper who arrived soon after the attack. Photos showed charred and blood-splattered floors, with shrapnel peppering the church walls.
“This is not a farmer-herder clash. It is a genocidal campaign. Our communities are being wiped out methodically. The international community must not remain silent.” — Dr. Joshua Riti, a local administrator, persecution.org, May 25, 2025 – Nigeria
