Genocidal Islamic Jihadis Terrorize Nigerian Christians
2025-02-02
[PJMedia] The decades-long Nigerian genocide continues with ever more escalation of Islamic jihadi violence against Christians, which continues to make Nigeria the deadliest place in the world to be Christian.

The genocidal violence in Nigeria, ongoing since around 2009, has killed 60,000+ Christians and displaced tens of millions over the years. Yet the Biden administration removed Nigeria from the list of Countries of Particular Concern that have "severe violations of religious freedom." Hopefully, Donald Trump
...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
will reverse that and finally recognize the horrendous persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Indeed, in 2023, the sobering statistics are that Nigerians accounted for an estimated 82% of Christians killed globally for their faith.

Unfortunately, most Westerners only seem to care about jihad-loving Gazooks. When Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
operatives are killed in Gazoo, there are marches and protests and aid donations and political furor. Not so for Christians daily persecuted and murdered in numerous countries across Africa, South America, and Asia (including in Gaza). That would require woke Westerners to admit that Islam and Communism are the two ideologies most responsible for the severe persecution of Christians worldwide.

From International Christian Concern’s (ICC) Persecution.org, Jan. 24:

Boko Haram is escalating attacks on Christian communities in Chibok, Borno state, displacing more than 4,000 Christians in recent days. In a series of coordinated raids, Boko Haram targeted the Christian villages of Njila, Banziir, Shikarkir, and Yirmirmug, burning homes, torching churches, and killing five people.

During the most recent attack on Monday, terrorists descended on Shikarkir and Yirmirmug in the early morning, displacing more than 1,500 residents.

Eyewitnesses reported that Boko Haram militants targeted Christians during these raids, intimidating them and demanding they convert to Islam or face death. The violence destroyed Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa, a church, and the loss of livestock, food supplies, and livelihoods.

#2  Sometimes 'turn the other cheek' is not a survival strategy.

Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
see his banner go!
