Joel Webbon on Christians still being killed for their faith
Joel Webbon argues that deadly violence against Christians is not just history but is still happening today, a grim claim aimed at Western audiences he sees as looking away.
- The core point: in parts of the world Christians are still being killed by Muslims, not merely harassed or silenced.
- The distinction drawn is between everyday persecution — social media bans, cancellation — and outright killing.
- He is explicit that this is not a charge against Muslims as a whole, only against violence in specific places.
- The framing pushes back on the idea that anti-Christian violence ended centuries ago.
Outlook: Expect this line of argument to keep fueling debate over religious persecution and immigration in Western politics.
