From January 2020 to mid-May 2020, Muslim terrorists massacred at least 620 Christians.
"Militant Fulani Herdsmen and Boko Haram ... have intensified their anti-Christian violence ... with hacking to death in the past four months and half of 2020 of no fewer than 620 defenseless Christians, and wanton burning or destruction of their centers of worship and learning. The atrocities against Christians have gone unchecked and risen to alarming apogee with the country's security forces and concerned political actors looking the other way or colluding with the Jihadists. Houses burnt or destroyed during the period are in their hundreds; likewise dozens of Christian worship and learning centers."
The report further states that, since 2009, "Not less than 32,000 Christians have been butchered to death by the country's main Jihadists."
"The Christian community there reportedly protested against the violation and tried to stop the vandalism. However, they were allegedly threatened with guns... [A]ll graves that were destroyed had crosses fixed on the top... [S]ome of the houses occupied by the Christians were demolished and people were forced to flee from their homes. Amid widespread discrimination against the Christian community in Pakistan, the properties owned by the minorities are often subjected to injustice including land grabbing and being the target of criminals. Moreover, the economic disparities and religious bias in Pakistan's judiciary have increased the struggles Christians face to recover the lost land."
Egypt: On May 30, 2020 - two days before President Trump recognized Global Coptic Day - Egyptian authorities demolished the only Coptic church in village of Koum al-Farag, even though it had stood for 15 years and served 3,000 Christians.
The Christian community in Algeria denounces... the intimidation which the faithful are subject to. Many Christians have denounced the series of closings of churches in the national territory. Several evangelical associations and organizations have called for an end to 'the increasing pressure and intimidation from the Algerian government.'".
While not all, or even most, Muslims are involved, persecution of Christians by extremists is growing.
