'Christians Here Really Need Help': The Persecution of Christians, June 2023

Well-known
The following are among the murders and abuses inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of June 2023.

The Muslim Slaughter of Christians

Uganda: On the evening of June 16, Islamic terrorists crying "Allahu akbar!" ("Allah is the greatest!") stormed a private high school, where students were closing the night by singing Christian hymns. Over the next 90 minutes, the attackers committed unimaginable horrors against the Christians — murdering, in the end, at least 42 people, 37 of them teenagers. Locked in their dormitory, most of the boys were burned alive after the Muslim terrorists poured fuel on the building and set fire to it.

Some of the boys were so "charred beyond recognition" that investigators had to use DNA samples from relatives to identify them. Most of the girls had been hacked and stabbed to death with machetes and knives. "It was a devastating and upsetting scene," an investigative team visiting the site reported. "Lots of dried blood is still on the ground outside the girls' dormitory."

As for the incinerated boys' dormitory, "the smell of death is unmistakeable—beds have been reduced to wire mesh with pieces of flesh still stuck to them."

"The rebels asked for Muslims among the students, but there were none," a survivor recounted, further positioning the massacre along religious lines. "The rebels said they do not kill fellow [Muslim] believers. [Then] they slaughtered every student in their sight using pangas [machetes], axes, and sharp objects."

As detailed here, separating Muslims from Christians during a jihadist raid, and then murdering only the Christians, is a common practice—with examples from many nations (such as here and here), including the U.S. — but underscores that the attack was entirely about religion: killing Christians.

Lord, keep your church in your protective care. Cover them with promises of Psalm 91 and bring deep healing to those traumatized and fatigued. Let your spirit convict hearts of persecutors and draw them to saving faith in Jesus. Please grant your church favor in the eyes of their communities and governments.

In Jesus name Amen.
