Report: Islamic State-Linked Militants Behead 30 Christians in Mozambique
8th October 2025
The Islamic State Mozambique Province (ISMP), a Salafi jihadist militant group and an official affiliate of the Islamic State, last month beheaded 30 Christians and burned down churches and homes in Mozambique, according to a report by MEMRI’s Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM), which tracks activity by terrorist and violent extremist organizations.
ISMP in late September claimed responsibility for the attacks, which took place in northern Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces, according to the report.
The group said it destroyed at least seven churches, shot and beheaded more than two dozen people, and committed acts of arson against Christians and other civilians in several villages.
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.
