On December 10, in Punjab Province, a Muslim man in his early 20s, Muhammad Uzair Riaz Dogar, “sodomized” a 6-year-old Christian girl during a tutoring session at his home. The victim, daughter of impoverished Salvation Army church member Saleem Masih, had been tutored by the suspect’s sister for four months. While the female tutor was away, the brother let all Muslim children leave but forcibly took the Christian girl to another room and assaulted her. She was found crying in pain, clothes blood-soaked; hospital examination confirmed sodomy. The perpetrator was eventually arrested, but his family tried to pressure the family to withdraw charges and settle, making derogatory remarks exploiting their Christian poverty. According to the girl’s father:....
“They had the audacity to tell us that we are poor Christians, and we should be thankful that their son had only sodomized the child, ‘not raped her,’ which would have brought dishonor and shame to us. Muslims think that they can commit any crime against us, and no one would dare oppose them.”
He added the suspect had previously assaulted another Christian girl whose family stayed silent due to threats, but “we are not going to back down from our case, come what may.” Threats included making their lives miserable if there is no settlement. Discussing this incident, human rights activist Katherine Sapna said:
“Many poor Christian families tend to shy from taking legal action against their powerful oppressors for fear of social stigma and threats to their lives, but we were encouraged by the Masih family’s resolve... It’s very unfortunate that this family has been forced to relocate from their village just days before Christmas.” ...

On December 30, a young man of “North African” appearance stabbed a priest multiple times in a busy street in broad daylight. Don Rodrigo Grajales Gaviria, 45, was stabbed from behind while walking in Modena’s historic center. According to witnesses, the young “North African” approached silently, struck multiple times with his knife (including a severe wound to the neck and throat, and one to the back) before fleeing. No words were exchanged; no robbery attempt took place (nothing stolen, no demand made). Witnesses helping him called emergency services; the priest was rushed to a hospital for urgent surgery to control bleeding from his neck wound, which narrowly missed major vessels.
Initially in serious condition, he was last reported as having stabilized. Parish priest Don Graziano Gavioli emphasized that the assault was not a robbery but “an aggression carried out with the sole purpose of wounding.” The attack was reminiscent an attack in 2023, when a Muslim from Morocco carried out a machete attack on two Catholic churches in Algeciras. They killed a sacristan and seriously wounded a priest at San Isidro. Spanish authorities treated the assault as a jihadist-motivated terrorist attack and arrested him at the scene. ....
Pakistan: On December 5, the Rev. Kamran Salamat, a 45-year-old Presbyterian pastor and missionary in Gujranwala, was riddled with bullets in the Muslim majority nation. An unidentified motorcyclist (possibly with two accomplices) gunned him down outside his home in front of his 16-year-old daughter as he prepared to take her to college. He was shot in at least three places and died three hours later at a hospital. This attack followed one in September 2025 where Salamat survived being shot in the leg. According to a church leader: “It’s quite possible that he was martyred due to his missionary work” among Muslim tribesmen. ...
Uganda: On December 12, Muslims slaughtered evangelist Konkona Kasimu, a 42-year-old convert from Islam, shortly after a public Christian-Muslim dialogue event in Busia town organized by New Eden Church. Kasimu, known for his expertise in both the Bible and Koran, led the open-air dialogue from December 8-12. The event resulted in several Muslims publicly converting to Christianity, heightening tensions further. After the final day, local Christians sheltered him briefly before the four-person evangelism team departed around 6:30 p.m. on two motorcycles. In the Nakalama swamp area, four men in Islamic attire stopped them under the pretense of needing help. One recognized Kasimu as “the evangelist involved in the Busia dialogue” and struck him on the head. They assaulted team member Recheal Kyakuwa, who lost consciousness, while the other motorcyclist managed to flee. Kasimu died from his injuries. Pastor Jeremiah Kasowe said:
“Kasimu was killed because of advancing the Kingdom of God. We have lost a great man who was well-versed in both the Quran and the Bible and used that knowledge to witness Christ to many people.” ...
