(The New American)—It’s like 20 9/11s — or 50 October 7s. That’s approximately how many Christians have been murdered by Islamic jihadists in Africa just during the past decade. This “silent genocide,” as one ex-U.S. diplomat puts it, is still ongoing, too. It’s all part of an Islamic State (ISIS) effort to establish a new caliphate. And progress is being made on this front, as jihadist groups are poised to take over several African countries.
That’s not all there is on the Christian persecution front, either. Another report holds that Eurasian Christian communities are being destroyed with Israeli arms — funded by the U.S.
