More than 2,400 Anti-Christian Hate Crimes Occurred in Europe in 2023, Report Finds
With new reports from human rights organisations in Europe, it is clear that anti-Christian discrimination is a hot-button issue in the old continent, and on the rise.
The Vienna-based Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe revealed widespread intolerance and discrimination against Christians in Europe in its 15 November report, published in cooperation with the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, or OSCE, and its Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights.
Widespread Intolerance
OIDAC Europe identified 2,444 anti-Christian hate crimes which were documented by police and civil society in 35 European countries in 2023, including 232 personal attacks on Christians, such as harassment, threats and physical violence.
These figures include data requested from governments, which found 1,230 anti-Christian hate crimes recorded by 10 European governments in 2023, up from 1,029 recorded by governments in 2022.
While only 10 European governments submitted data on anti-Christian hate crimes in 2023, civil society reported incidents from 26 European countries. The report was published ahead of the 16 November observance of the International Day for Tolerance, which was established in 1996 by the United Nations General Assembly.

The Australian Christian Freedom Index documented 74 Acts of Parliament that have restricted Christian freedom over the past 25 years. Which parties and worldviews restrict Christian freedoms in Australia — and why?
Christians , Jews , and anyone who is not a Moslem have been victims of increasing Hate Crime because Islam is an intolerant religion which preaches death to Infidels and the take-over of all the World. Europe can thank Merkel for opening the borders , and in Australia , both political parties! Huge numbers of Moslem migrants , eg of Palestinian Supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah , continues here where they take part in Hate Speech Marches against Jews and Capitalism. The USA under Trump will try to stop the flood. China, North Korea, Japan do not import them as “refugees “. Even Russia, which has large numbers of Moslems , does not allow Moslems to interfere with the Orthodox Church and its Russian way of life. I have read numerous posts on X and Sky News complaining that Australian capital cities are now “like foreign countries ” where it’s “Spot the Aussie “if you can ! People mourn the loss of the Australia of our youth and are glad to be old and not have long to live to see the total ruin of our country in a few years. Starmer’s UK is a disgrace where murder and rape by Moslems does not receive the punishment it should. Two sets of “Justice “–one lenient one for them , and, severe punishment (even years in jail ) if non-Moslems complain about the crime and immigration ! Their Plan is to eliminate Christmas , Easter , etc.
