A Muslim factory owner tortured his Christian employee to death -- Waqas Salamat, age 18 -- for refusing to continue working for him....

He was the main breadwinner for his impoverished family. According to his mother, Rubina.

The Muslim Slaughter of Christians
Russia:
On Sunday, June 23, terrorists launched attacks on several churches and synagogues in the Muslim Republic of Dagestan. At least 21 people were killed and dozens wounded. One elderly and ailing Orthodox priest, Fr. Nikolai Kotelnikov, had his throat slit by the Muslims yelling "Allahu akbar" ["Allah is the greatest"]. At least one church, that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was set on fire.
In another church, in the words of one report,
"Gun battles erupted around the Assumption Cathedral in Makhachkala and heavy automatic gunfire rang out late into the night. Footage showed residents running for cover as plumes of smoke rose above the city."
About 5-6 militants were killed; the rest fled. No one claimed the attack, which follows the Moscow massacre, claimed by ISIS, on March 22, 2024, when 145 Russians were murdered.
Democratic Republic of Congo:
On Friday, June 7, ISIS militants, using machetes and rifles, slaughtered more than 80 Christians and forced of several churches to close. ISIS emphasized the religious identity of its victims in a post, saying that "Caliphate soldiers" killed "Christians." According to one report, many of the slain were "very young" and were targeted for "refusing to convert into Islam." This incident is part of a larger pattern of violence against Christians. According to another report, "nearly 150 people have been killed by the group since early June." This includes a June 7 attack that left 41 people slaughtered; some bodies were found "tied up" and "decapitated."
Nigeria:
Some June headlines from the ongoing Muslim genocide of Christians in the African nation follow:
June 2: "Islamic Fulani Militants Kill Pastor, Wife, 3 Other Church Members."
June 6: "Terrorists Murder 3 Abducted Christian Passengers in Borno." (After stopping and raiding a bus, the Muslims separated the Christian passengers from the Muslims, then killed all the Christians.
June 17: "Suspected Islamic Fulani Militants Kill 5 Christians."
June 22: "Muslim Extremists Abduct Second Church Leader in Three Weeks."
June 23-26: "Eight Christians Killed in Plateau State, Nigeria."
June 21-25: "Islamic Terrorists Threaten to Kill Kidnapped Clergymen in Nigeria" (unless heavy ransoms are paid).
Germany:
A roaming gang of ten "youths" savagely attacked a 20-year-old Christian of Greek origin, Phillipos Tsanis, for wearing a large pectoral cross. "They beat him to death," Phillipos's grieving father told reporters, "all 10 people were kicking him in the head, after he had dropped to the floor unconscious. Rushed to a hospital and placed on life support, the 20-year-old nonetheless succumbed to his injuries."
"The most disturbing aspect," another relative said, "is that they recorded the attack and are boasting about it." This incident, he added, mirrors other disturbing occurrences in the area targeting individuals perceived as Christian, including the deaths of a 26-year-old man and a policeman. The primary suspect is of Syrian origin. Phillipos's father said that the youth was just returning from a celebratory party:
"He just wanted to enjoy the graduation party with his sister and friends. His life was just beginning. The violence has to stop. This could happen to anyone's child, and no parent should endure such a devastating loss."
