Christians in Africa Subject to Jihad - The West Averts its Eyes

 Full report available at https://tinyurl.com/y66cbp24

• Jihadists are murdering, raping, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving, and, in some instances, burning people alive — across Africa, and now in Syria.
• Local jihadist organizations go by different names, but the ideology that drives them is the same: Every one of them deeply believes that Allah wants him to wipe the world clean of the kuffar (infidels).
• More than 16.2 million Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa have been driven from their homes by jihadi violence and conflict, reports the human rights organization Open Doors.
• Women and girls are abducted, forced into "marriage," forced to convert to Islam, raped, and subjected to forced labor. Several girls have been forced to act as suicide bombers or human shields at the hands of jihadis.
• In Sudan, a current genocide includes race-based slaughter of indigenous Africans by Arab jihadists... with the RSF forces targeting ethnic African minorities for extermination... According to the organization "Operation Broken Silence," more than 150,000 civilians are estimated to have already perished from violence and hunger.
• In Libya, slavery, forced labor and human trafficking are still widespread, as seen in video evidence of an auction of sub-Saharan Africans in the country.
• In Somalia, no area is safe for Christians... [al-Shabaab] maintains a commitment to eradicating Christianity from Somalia and often murders Christians on the spot.
• Nigeria has seen a dramatic increase in the abduction of Catholic priests, seminarians and religious women — for ransom, as Vatican News noted.
• All decent people.... need urgently to address this question: Why does the liberal West turn a blind eye when Islamic jihadists abduct, abuse, rape, enslave, forcibly convert or murder millions of darker-skinned people in Africa and the Middle East? A refusal to address such lethal moral blindness signifies that the West has chosen a path to its own demise, and will be abandoning countless innocents as it goes.
