In Pakistan and Nigeria, some Christians found their Easter turned into a day of mourning after jihadi attacks reportedly caused mass casualty events.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talked about persecuted Christians for his Easter message, but heads of supposedly Christian countries in the West ignored the issue. Islamic terrorists often choose holidays to target Christians with deadly violence, and Easter 2026 was tragically no exception.

European media outlet Visegrád 24 shared on X on April 5, “Reports of a potential Islamist terror attack against Pakistani Christians on Easter morning. A man rammed a truck into a large Christian procession in Gujranwala, killing several Christians and wounding 60+.” It included a very brief and indistinct video clip.

 

Easter turned into a blood-soaked mourning day for Christians in Pakistan and Nigeria, with reports of jihadi attacks striking holiday worshippers and leaving death, fear and chaos in their wake. In Pakistan, Visegrád 24 reported a truck slamming into a Christian procession in Gujranwala, killing several and wounding 60-plus, while Nigeria’s toll was even more devastating, with Punch Newspapers reporting a heartbreaking casualty count. Netanyahu spoke out on persecuted Christians in his Easter message — but Western leaders, critics say, said nothing as terrorists once again picked a holy day to hit Christians hard.
