Translated from the French article after this article into English:
For several years, the report has been scathing: persecuting a Christian is the favorite game of some. This terror is seen all over the world, in China and in North Korea, the heirs of the glorious hours of the Communist powers continue the low works of their ascendants. In South America, anti-fascist guerrillas hunt down the faithful, whom they assimilate to the capitalist demon. In Africa, in Europe too, Christians are victims of persecution in the name of Islam. The latest figures from the Doors Open NGO Global Persecution of Christians Index are catastrophic. Whereas in 2018, 245 million people were victims of persecution worldwide, in 2019, 260 million people are persecuted because they are Christians … Even if this increase can be put into perspective in light of the drop in the number of people killed (4,305 in 2018, against 2,983 in 2019), it is clear that if we take a global vision and not country by country or region by region , Christians are the most persecuted in the world. Indeed, the crime committed against Rohingyas is unacceptable and unforgivable, but it is confined to Burma. Indeed, the conflicts between Sikhs and Muslims on the one hand and between Shiites and Sunnis in several countries, but also crimes against Yazidis, are just as heinous and unacceptable but they remain limited to a few countries.Every day, very many Christians are persecuted in the world, but as if by magic, a deafening silence covers the atrocities against the faithful; this silence is in the image of the western hypocrisy which bends in front of Islam. Indeed, while Colombia, which is overwhelmingly Catholic, comes in 41st position in the countries where the number of these persecutions is the highest, the top 5 counts Pakistan, Libya, Somalia and Afghanistan, or 4 countries out of 5 Muslims. Burkina Faso, Niger and Cameroon enter the classification and, more generally, persecution is increasing in Africa, especially in West, where, according to the report published by Doors Open, “Islamic extremism is the mechanism of persecution prevailing in these countries ”.Above all, let’s not stigmatize.
