Top 10 Most Persecuting Nations (2026):

Based on the Open Doors 2026 World Watch List
  1. North Korea: Ranked #1 for over 20 years; owning a Bible or attending worship can lead to execution or forced labor camps.
  2. Somalia: Al-Shabab militants actively target Christians, who are mostly converts from Islam and face immediate death if discovered.
  3. Yemen: Civil war and Islamic extremism make practicing Christianity life-threatening.
  4. Sudan: Continued conflict has resulted in church closures and attacks on believers.
  5. Eritrea: Known as the "North Korea of Africa," it features severe state-sanctioned persecution.
  6. Syria: Fragile security and extremist groups make it highly dangerous.
  7. Nigeria: Deadliest country in terms of violence, with rampant attacks by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and militants.
  8. Pakistan: Blasphemy laws are used to target Christians, resulting in imprisonment and mob violence.
  9. Libya: Lawlessness allows militants to persecute Christians, especially migrants.
  10. Iran: Government oppression of converts and house churches.

They are certainly horrific at persecuting their citizens. I believe History shows that all Nations that do or ever have existed have persecuted various groups of their citizens.

Lord knows, America would be on that list somewhere.........no idea where. Top 50? 100?

Jesus taught that Christians specifically would be persecuted, so we should not be surprised.
