‘You Have a Beautiful Daughter…’: The Persecution of Christians, March 2024

Raymond Ibrahim, Gatestone Institute, 4/24

  • [O]n March 25, the Lahore High Court in Pakistan awarded custody of a 13-year-old Christian girl to her Muslim kidnapper.
  • Charges were filed, “but instead of arresting the two suspects, police tipped them off …. Since that time, they have been threatening me and my mother to withdraw the case or face the consequences.” – Morning Star News, March 8, 2024, Pakistan.
  • “Christians are obviously a despised minority [in Yemen]… Christians are often last in line as it relates to being able to receive the care and attention there as war and as these things continue to escalate. That has a ripple effect … while Christians were already last [in] line, that line becomes even further elongated.” — Open Doors USA CEO Ryan Brown, Christian Broadcasting Network, March 8, 2024.
  • “I thought it only happened elsewhere.” — Mayor of Clermont d’Excideuil, France, March 11, 2024.

The Muslim Slaughter of Christians

Russia: On March 22, Muslim terrorists armed with automatic weapons launched an attack on Crocus City Hall near Moscow, massacring at least 139 people and wounding more. Boasting of “killing Christians,” ISIS quickly claimed the attack in a statement that said the assault was intentionally designed to target “thousands of Christians.” Two months earlier, ISIS issued a communique to the “Lions of Islam” — presumably Muslim “avengers” around the world — to terrorize and slaughter Christians and Jews, including by targeting churches and synagogues. An excerpt follows:

“Chase your preys whether Jewish, Christian or their allies, on the streets and roads of America, Europe, and the world. Break into their homes, kill them and steal their peace of mind by any means you can lay hands on….. [S]hoot them with bullets, cut their throats with sharp knives, and run them over with vehicles. A sincere person will not lack the means to draw blood from the hearts of the Jews, the Christians, and their allies, and thus ease the suffering in the hearts of the believers. Come at them from every door, kill them by the worst of means, turn their gatherings and celebrations into bloody massacres, do not distinguish between a civilian kaffir, and a military one, for they are all kuffar and the ruling against them is one…. Intentionally seek easy targets before hard ones, civilian targets before military one, religious targets like synagogues and churches before others, for this will satisfy the soul.”

Uganda: On March 30, Muslims hacked a Christian man to death for leading Muslims—all of whom immediately went into hiding—to Christ. Ronald Twinomugisha was 32. According to his neighbor, an eyewitness, men dressed in Islamic attire entered into Ronald’s home around 7 p.m.:

“At around 8 p.m. I heard an alarm and a call for help then followed by a loud bang like that of splitting firewood. It was a loud wailing saying, ‘Please don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me! I am working for Jesus Christ! Please, Jesus is the one who sent me!’ I feared to come out of my house, but shortly the voice stopped.”

Ronald’s body was later found in a pool of his own blood:

“The attackers left a note saying, ‘We learned what you have been teaching, and misleading Muslims and leading them to a wrong religion from the course and path of Allah.'”

Separately, on March 8, Muslims murdered another Christian man for similarly leading other Muslims to Christ. Earlier that day, Kiisa Masolo, 45, had been preaching in the streets, and returned home around 7 p.m., at which point seven masked men dressed in Islamic attire broke into his house and abducted him. According to his mother, Norah,

“After whisking him away, three men remained behind and told me that, ‘Allah is very displeased with your son, and we’re out to punish him.’ Then the three men left.”

Her son’s slain body was later found with deep cuts to the head and neck, and a note in Arabic pinned to it.

“A person fluent in Arabic was called to read the script which stated, ‘We had warned you not to convert our Muslim brothers and sisters to Christianity, but you failed to heed to our warning. This has finally cost your life.’… I tried to advise my son to be very cautious with his life, but he used to tell me that his life was in the hands of God and that he was called to carry out the preaching of the gospel of Christ. Since then, I knew that the life of my son was in danger, and he might not live for long due to the many threatening messages of Allah who was out to kill him.”

Finally, on March 29, a Muslim man murdered his 19-year-old sister after he discovered that she had become Christian. Earlier that day, Namukuve’s father had called her and her six siblings to a family meeting devoted to inquiring why she was not attending Muslim prayers. According to a relative,

“Namukuve kept quiet for a while and later replied that she had converted to Prophet Issa [Jesus Christ]. This angered her elder brother, Abdul Rahim Munaabi, and he got hold of a wooden chair and hit her on the head. She cried out once, saying, ‘Oh Mum,’ [who was away] and then stopped breathing…. Namukuve’s body was removed from the house and dumped in a swamp near the River Naigombwa.”

Somalia: On Good Friday, March 29, Muslims connected to the Islamic terror group Al Shabaab slaughtered six Christians from bordering Kenya for spreading Christianity.

Kenya: On March 8, Muslims ambushed and slaughtered an evangelist and seriously wounded three other Christians. On first trapping the four men, the large group of Muslims complained “that they were not happy about the conversion of their fellow Muslims, especially their relatives during their door-to door mission outreach,” Masaba, one of the injured, said:

  1. This just shows that when Muslims are not mass murderers, they’re just murderers. Their religion is hardly being peaceful when it swiftly attacks other religions, mainly Christianity which is peaceful and based on just laws.
    Islam has no basis in Truth and therefore skews morality into calling evil good.
