Member states of the European Union have been called out on their failure to talk up for persecuted Christians.
The claims follow a massacre by the Islamic State-affiliated Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) within the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
More than 40 Christians attending a night mass last month were killed by the militants, who also destroyed local houses and took plenty of children as hostages.
Dutch MEP Bert-Jan Ruissen said on social media that while the EU and its member states were completely satisfied to sentence atrocities against Ukrainians and Gazans, they’re “far too silent about jihadist violence against Christians”.
Ruissen went further, saying that member states of the EU must not only be a voice for persecuted Christian but “make greater efforts to trace down secret funds of Islamic State and the [Allied Democratic Forces].”
His views were echo those voice by Swedish MEP Charlie Weimers, who in May suggesting that European funding was getting used to learn Islamist groups resembling the Muslim Brotherhood.
He said, “I won’t ever quit until all public funding and legitimisation of [the Muslim Brotherhood] and its networks are history. Zero tolerance will not be only a goal—it’s a necessity to guard our society.”
Both Ruissen and Weimers have warned that the aim of Islamist groups is the entire conquest and Islamic makeover of Europe and ultimately, the world.
In early 2024, no less than 16 countries, including plenty of EU member states, temporarily suspended funding to UNRWA following claims by Israel that a few of its staff were involved within the 7 October attacks.
An independent review lead by a former French foreign minister found no evidence to support Israel’s claims against UNRWA.
