"The Taliban will eliminate Christians from Afghanistan"

Tension and violence continue to rage on the streets ofAfghanistan. and one of the greatest fears is the elimination of the Christian Church within the country.

From the first moment the Taliban came to power, the greatest fear has been instilled, especially for the Christian faith, because the new rulers do not tolerate any other creed except Islam.

“Right now we fear elimination. The Taliban will eliminate the Christian population of Afghanistan, ”he told CBN News Hamid, leader of a local church in Afghanistan.

"There weren't many Christians 20 years ago in the time of the Taliban, but today we are talking about 5.000-8.000 local Christians and they live all over Afghanistan," Hamid said.

The leader, who is in hiding to protect himself from the Taliban, spoke to CBN from an unknown location, expressing his concern for the Christian community within the country, which represents a small portion of its population.

“We know a Christian believer who worked in the north, he is a leader and we have lost contact with him because his city has fallen into the hands of the Taliban. There are three other cities where we have lost contact with our Christian believers, ”Hamid said.

Afghanistan is one of the worst countries for Christianity in the world due to religious intolerance for the radicalization of Islam, Open Doors USA classified it as the second most dangerous place for Christians, only after North Korea.

“Some of the believers are known in their communities, people know that they have converted from Islam to Christianity and are considered apostates and the penalty for this is death. The Taliban are famous for carrying out such punishments, ”the leader recalled.

Families are forced to hand over their 12-year-old daughters to become sex slaves of the Taliban: "I have four sisters who are single, they are at home and they are worried about it," Hamid said.

Similarly, Christian television SAT-7 reported that the terrorists themselves are killing anyone with a biblical application installed on their mobile phone, many of them being taken out of the means and killed immediately for being "ethnically unclean".
