A recent episode of the “Shawn Ryan Show” detailed how Christians are being killed across countries like Syria.
Episode 184 of the “Shawn Ryan Show” detailed how political leaders across many Middle Eastern nations, as well as the heads of terror organizations, are pushing for an Islamic caliphate, leading to the ethnic cleansing of Christians across multiple nations. An Islamic caliphate is generally defined as a political-religious state run by a leader who claims succession from the prophet Muhammad. While Christians are not alone in the ethnic cleansing, the sheer number of deaths is currently unknowable, according to experts interviewed by Ryan.
“There are Taliban fighters in Syria right now … the second thing I’ve heard is that they’re killing a lot of religious minorities and many, many Christians. They’re being slaughtered on a daily basis,” guest Legend explained. Some Muslims and other religious minorities are also being killed, the guests noted. “Unless the U.S. President [Donald] Trump takes action, this is something that will continue very rapidly.”
“And my fear is that this is gonna worsen. It’s gonna increase, especially now that he has Taliban members with them and he’s getting support from the leadership of the Taliban,” he continued.
WARNING: Graphic Information Ahead
Legend argued that the current Syrian president, who goes by the names Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa and Abu Mohammad al-Julani, has extreme ties to Islamic terror groups, such as al Qaeda, who “slaughtered” Christian communities, particularly in Iraq. “They beheaded them, they executed them, dumped their bodies in the river. They’re doing the same thing in Syria right now … [the] levels of horror that were just unimaginable,” he explained. Children were put in cages and thrown into rivers, while women were taken as sex slaves. Many were burned alive.

The murder of Christians, Jews, and other religious minorities in the region is apparently being done in “the name of Islam” by these terrorists.
A recent spate of attacks occurred within 24 hours of the U.K. waiving sanctions on the Syrian national bank and 20 other entities. “The response from the U.S. should be the exact opposite. The United States should send a very, very clear message to the new Syrian government that there will be zero sanctions relief and there will be zero normalization of its treatment to the new Syrian government until it proves that it’s going to be able to protect all the citizens of Syria, including its vulnerable Christians,” Congress of Christian Leaders president Rev. Johnnie Moore told Fox News.
There are an estimated 300,000 Christians in Syria. Prior to the Syrian civil war, the Christian community was estimated at roughly 1,500,000, the outlet noted.
Middle East Is Not Alone
Reports published in late March highlighted how the military of Myanmar set fire to a Cathedral amid ongoing threats and attacks against Christians, according to The Christian Post. The attacks apparently came from the Buddhist national military junta.
Former President Joe Biden removed Nigeria from the “Countries of Particular Concern” list throughout his presidency, despite at least 52,000 deaths attributed to anti-Christian violence throughout the nation in recent years. As of March 2025, Congress is finally taking steps to protect Christians and hold Nigeria accountable for the rising persecution, according to MNOnline.
“The reality is the Nigerian government hasn’t taken steps to protect persecuted Christians in the North, and so I think they do deserve to be painted as complicit in what is happening there,” Voice of the Martyrs USA’s Todd Nettleton told the outlet. “The national government of Nigeria, even though in their constitution they promise religious freedom, they don’t actually defend the rights of religious minorities in the North in a way that protects them from these attacks.”
Some 200,000 Christians gathered in early March in Arunachal Pradesh, India, to protest a new law that would make converting to Christianity punishable by arrest and fine unless done with the permission of the political district, CSW reported.
