Why do Western leaders pay so little attention to Christian persecution?

Why do Western leaders pay so little attention to Christian persecution?

A Nigerian woman who watched Boko Haram militants kill her husband after he identified himself as a Christian will be joining a delegation today delivering a petition with over one million signatories to 10 Downing Street. The letter is calling for ‘greater protection for Christian communities in sub-Saharan Africa, justice for victims and help for survivors rebuilding their lives’.

In October 2014, Afordia and her husband were travelling by car in Adamawa State, in north-east Nigeria, when men in uniform stopped them. The couple initially mistook the men for Nigerian soldiers before armed men emerged from hiding and ordered them out of the vehicle. The men asked her husband whether he was Muslim or an infidel. He replied that he was neither, but a Christian. He was ordered to the roadside, where he knelt and began to pray. Seconds later, he was shot several times and killed.

FBI Followed Catholic Priests, Continued Richmond Memo Work After Removal Order: DOJ Report Finds

FBI Followed Catholic Priests, Continued Richmond Memo Work After Removal Order: DOJ Report Finds

A new Justice Department report reveals that FBI personnel opened investigations into two Catholic priests, conducted surveillance tied to the Richmond Catholic Memo, and continued revising the memo after headquarters ordered it deleted.

The report reveals how an investigation into a violent extremist led to the surveillance of clergy affiliated with traditional Catholicism, though the FBI ultimately concluded the priests posed no national security threat. The report also sheds new light on internal disputes on the reliability of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

“This Department of Justice will not tolerate a weaponized bureaucracy that chills First Amendment activity,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement on the report, compiled by the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group. He noted that the individuals who developed the Richmond Domain Perspective are no longer at the FBI.

When the power cut out and his signal dropped, TJ knew something was wrong.

Seconds later, the banging started on his front door. Terrified, he stood as still as possible with his wife and three-year-old daughter, hoping they wouldn’t be noticed.

But the Chinese police officers broke down the door, shoved his wife and child into a separate room and began to question TJ.

Too Catholic To Be French Officers

Too Catholic To Be French Officers

A scandal has come to light alleging that pupils from French independent Catholic schools were deliberately excluded during the admissions process for a military secondary school. This case, which serves as a reminder that the victims of discrimination are not always those we might expect or those who make a profession of it, highlights a deeper problem affecting the military establishment: can the army today do without traditional families who, alongside their faith, still instil in their children a love of their country and a sense of sacrifice?

Europe’s Christians: Increasingly Squeezed Between Islamists and the Left

As riots triggered by migrant attacks convulse the UK, the debate over immigration in Europe is reaching a fever pitch. The same question is asked, time and again: If nobody voted for this, why does it keep on happening? In the past two years, migrant violence has been recorded—and in some cases triggered violent public backlash—in Germany (a toddler and man stabbed to death by an Afghan); Belfast (a man stabbed in the street by a Sudanese refugee); France (a deadly stabbing by an Algerian in Mulhouse); as well as Poland, Sweden, and Spain, among others.

Ottawa cuts funding to activist group accused of anti-Catholic bias

Ottawa cuts funding to activist group accused of anti-Catholic bias

A Toronto-based activist organization accused of targeting Catholics and pro-life groups has lost its federal heritage funding for the first time since 2020 after MPs raised concerns the taxpayer-funded group was fueling political division.

Access To Information records show the Canadian Anti-Hate Network received nearly $700,000 from the Department of Canadian Heritage over the past five years before its latest funding agreement expired Feb. 28 without renewal.


This was Bernie Farber’s gang. I wonder if he’s given himself credit for helping create “The Silence”.
