Global Overview of Islamic Extremist Groups

This map offers a snapshot of the reach of Islamic extremist groups globally from 1990 till date, highlighting the tragic reality that Christians make up the majority of these casualties. These groups have caused untold suffering in various regions, particularly in the Middle East, where Christianity began and once thrived, but is now overshadowed by Islam, as well as in Africa.

  • The inspiration behind this map is the tragic story of Deborah Samuel Yakubu. She was Christian student brutally stoned and set ablaze by a mob of Muslim students in Sokoto, Nigeria, on May 12, 2022, after being accused of alleged blasphemy against their prophet. Her killers have not been held accountable, with both the school and the state governor covering up the crime. Deborah is just one of many, but her name and story have stuck with me, serving as a personal reminder of the ongoing persecution.

Despite Christians being the most persecuted religious group worldwide, there is no term like "Christianphobia," while "Islamophobia" is widely recognized, even though Muslim persecution does not come anywhere close to matching it. Why do you think that is?
