Islamic terrorism is the outcry of the oppressed, apologists tell us. If the perpetrators only had access to more advanced weapons, they wouldn’t feel the need to massacre civilians with everything from machetes to rockets. Terrorism is a local phenomenon, not a global one.
Jihadist terrorism only grabs our attention when it occurs on a large scale, like 9/11 or Oct 7, and then its allies, apologists and appeasers quickly redirect attention by indicting the response to the attacks as ‘oppression’, faking atrocities, complaining about ‘Islamophobia’ and a police state, and quibbling over legalisms until they have successfully obscured the original atrocity.
Meanwhile the smaller scale terror plots and attacks that follow are swept under the rug.
Last year however France’s Fondapol think tank, a somewhat conservative group, issued a report chronicling 45 years of Islamic terrorism around the world with an estimated 249,941 victims. The killing of nearly a quarter million people is the story of an Islamic genocide.
A genocide we don’t talk about because it’s politically incorrect to even make mention of it.
In the two decades between 1979 and 2000, which the report defines as the first wave of Islamic terrorism, there were fewer than 7,000 deaths at the hands of Islamic Jihadists, while from 2001 through 2012, under 40,000 people were killed, and from 2013 until 2024, over 200,000 died at the hands of Islamic terrorists. The sharp escalation in violence and deadliness clearly shows that Islamic terrorism is rapidly becoming more of a global threat every decade.
Between 2013 and 2024, 200,000 people died without it ever being registered as a genocide.
And the Fondapol database is incomplete because it fails to track some Islamic terrorism, failing to classify some Islamic massacres as religiously-motivated and some terror groups as Islamic..
The Religion of Peace, a site tracking Islamic terrorism, found that there were nearly 10,000 Islamic terrorist killings in 2024 alone. This year looks to be even worse with a reported 12,850 killings as of the end of October and over 2,400 killings in just the month of October alone.
Compare the silence about the over 22,000 victims of Islamic genocide in the last two years with the hysterical lies about a ‘genocide’ in Gaza even as Israel was not only not killing Arab Muslim civilian settlers in the area, but insisted on keeping alive thousands of murderous terrorists in its prisons for whom Hamas wanted to trade its Israeli Jewish and other non-Muslim hostages.
Earlier this year, Front Page Magazine reported on the genocide of Christians in Nigeria and called on President Trump to take action. Charlie Kirk tweeted out our article with the message,
“Did you know 125,000 Christians have been murdered and 19,000 churches destroyed by Muslims in Nigeria in the last 15 years? Weird how that never gets any attention. Wonder why.”
President Trump has since issued a direct warning to the Nigerian regime to end the killing. This comes after both the Biden and Obama administrations had enabled and covered up the killings. After Trump’s announcement, the mainstream media rushed to deny the documented fact that there was a genocide in Nigeria, just as it had spread the lie of a genocide in Gaza.
Others blamed the problem on ISIS, but the massacres of Christians in Nigeria predate the rise of the Islamic State, and ISIS could never have killed over 100,000 Christians in Nigeria. The majority of the massacres were carried out not by ISIS Jihadists, but by Muslim Fulani herdsmen engaged not in occasional terrorist attacks of the kind that get headlines, but a sustained genocide of Christians carried on with the complicity of Muslim officials in Nigeria.
Nigeria is located in sub-Saharan Africa which is 62% Christian and only 33% Muslim, yet it’s the location of the single deadliest wave of Islamic terrorism ahead of the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. If Islamic terrorism were indeed an internal phenomenon, as apologists claim, then the densest Muslim areas should have the highest rate of Islamic violence.
Islamic terrorism is not an internal phenomenon, but an external one, it’s how Islam expands and why its borders are always red, whether in Africa, Asia or, as it moves into the West, in Europe and America, and the violence is greatest where Islam seeks to suppress non-Muslims.
Between 2010 and 2020, the Muslim settler population in sub-Saharan Africa grew 33.8% while the Christian population increased by 31.2%. The percentage difference seems minor, but had the Christian population increased at the same rate as the Muslim population, it would have grown to 711,347,700 instead of to 697,420,000 as it actually did. The difference partly reflects slightly higher Muslim birth rates, but it also partly reflects the Islamic genocide of Christians.
The phenomenon is not limited to Africa. The Muslim ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims is an ongoing project in India’s Kashmir region, in Israel’s endless Islamic terrorism problem, and in the grooming gangs and terror attacks taking place in the United Kingdom. These are not disparate problems, but members of a common ideology executing the same genocidal imperative laid down in the supremacist texts that command the killing of non-Muslim ‘infidels’.
The scale of the Islamic genocide of non-Muslims in the ancient world surpassed anything in its scale and cruelty that existed in modern times. In India alone, the Muslim conquerors killed tens of millions of Hindus and other indigenous peoples. The Christian, Hindu and Buddhist populations of the occupied lands that comprise a detached Muslim colonial empire stretching from North Africa to Afghanistan were for the most part ethnically cleansed and enslaved.
The reunification of that empire into a ‘caliphate’ is the mission of not only ISIS and Al Qaeda, but all Muslim terrorists, and their state sponsors like Erdogan’s Turkey and the Gulf states.
The decline and fall of many of the rotten Islamic colonial empires, from the Ottomans to the monstrous Mughals, in the 19th century, who found themselves unable to compete with the Western European nations that Islam had tried to overrun at its prime, liberated the surviving Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists from their imperial rule, allowing some to rebuild nation-states like India and Israel, even as Islamists carved out counter-states like Pakistan and the so-called ‘Palestinian’ terror state that had no legitimate history and which existed for no other purpose than to spread Islamic supremacist terror and reclaim their lost colonies.
European empires initially gloried in the fall of the Islamic empires only to then feel guilty over their decline. The influence of Marxism muddled history badly and led to ‘decolonization’ narratives in which the Islamic conquerors and oppressors were transformed into the victims of colonialism because they had to endure a generation or two of British or French rule.
Decolonization commenced and then Islamic genocides soon resumed all over again. The West, fearful of Communism, greedy for oil or corrupted by Marxist rhetoric, not only turned a blind eye to the worst of it, but began to blame the indigenous Hindu, Buddhist or Jewish communities for resisting Islamic colonization, accusing them of oppressing a Muslim ‘minority’.
That was the policy that the Obama administration followed in Nigeria. As the State Department insisted that Christians were oppressing Muslims because they had a limited majority, Muslims were carrying on a genocide of Nigerian Christians that has since surpassed 125,000 victims.
Even now the media is filled with voices claiming that Muslims are the real victims in Nigeria.
That is how Muslims were able to kill over 200,000 people in 11 years with hardly a whisper of outrage from the UN, the EU and the rest of the ‘international community’. And unless we call it what it is, genocide, and name the perpetrator, Islam, the genocide will only grow worse.
Meanwhile the international community will insist that the genocides are really ‘decolonization’.
The vast majority of the Islamic killings have taken place in the last decade. From the mass deaths in Nigeria to Oct 7, Islamic genocide is intensifying worldwide. What began with the deaths of hundreds and then thousands is turning into the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
And then millions will die.
