De l'Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination agains Christians in Europe :

Muslims attacking Christians in Europe – A Disturbing Trend

The Observatory has noticed a concerning rise in cases of intolerance, discrimination, and violence against Christians, particularly among migrants and asylum seekers in Germany and Sweden. 

According to Pastor Gottfried Martens of the Trinity Lutheran Church, “In German refugee camps we have a situation like in Iran. The people are here because of their beliefs and now they live in fear.”

This view is shared by the Abbot of the Russian Orthodox St. George’s monastery and member of the Integration Committee at the German Federal Chancellery, Father Daniel (Irbits): “Christian refugees from Syria, Eritrea and other countries are exposed to humiliation, manhunts and brutal harassment at the camps for refugees by Muslim neighbors. This also relates to the Yazidi religious minority. The cases when humiliation comes to injuries and threats of death are frequent”.

In this special issue, we present instances of this trend:
